Greater Bethel AME Church

The community around Greater Bethel AME Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them.

That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
