Union Valley Church

The community around Union Valley Church

It takes 7.6 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 8 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, and about a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
