Vertical Church

The community around Vertical Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and about a third have no one they feel they can count on. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
