Church of the King

The community around Church of the King

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,300 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.
