Jerusalem Church

The community around Jerusalem Church

It takes 4.0 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 5 in 10 adults live with obesity, and more than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
