James Temple Church

The community around James Temple Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 3 in 4 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than half of adults live with obesity. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
