First Christian Church

The community around First Christian Church

Within about a mile of this church, 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 about 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.
