In this episode of FāVS Forward, we talk with Rev. Walter Kendricks of Morning Star Baptist Church. Kendricks says it’s the best church in Spokane, though he admits he’s a little biased.
He considers himself an activist pastor and talks about his work in the African American community, both locally and statewide.
