El Bethel COGIC

The community around El Bethel COGIC

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 adults live with obesity. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for healing in the homes around this building, and for this church to be known as a place to bring what hurts.
