Progressive Church

The community around Progressive Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 2 in 3 the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter of adults here carry depression. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
