The community around Joplin Church Alive

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 8 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
