Living Word Community

The community around Living Word Community

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and nearly a quarter of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
