Purpose Church

The community around Purpose Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and about 1 in 5 the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
