The community around Word of Life Christ Center

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and about a third of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
