As part of LIFE Ministry, Friends of Areopagos is a membership program that offers a wide range of benefits to the holistic health of our members. Together, we hope to explore the meaning of life, and death, for it is inevitable and crucial that we understand and accept in order to live a happier life. Our FoA members and their family will be allowed to use our Tao Fong Shan Christian cemetery facilities and services, and receive counselling and comfort from our pastoral staff.<\/p>\n
