Every year, Riverfest brings thousands of people together for live music, great food, local vendors, family activities, and a chance to celebrate everything that makes our community so special.

In this episode of Pathway to Conway, we sit down with Jason Collins, a man whose story proves that sometimes God’s call doesn’t get quieter … it just gets harder to ignore. Originally from Bennettsville, South Carolina, Jason sensed a call to ministry early on, but like many of us, he took the scenic route. College, graduate school, and a career as Conway’s City Planner (and later launching his own construction company) kept him busy … but God wasn’t finished.In 2008, Jason finally said “yes,” stepped into ordained ministry, and now serves as Pastor of St. Paul’s right here in Conway.

And let me tell you, his passion for his family, for people, and this community is contagious.As we walk the PATH with Jason — his Purpose, Arrival, Transformation, and Heart — you’ll laugh, relate, and maybe even feel that nudge to stop putting off what God’s been calling you to do. This one will challenge you to invest in people, step into your purpose, and trust that it’s never too late to answer the call.
