Equip Church

The community around Equip Church

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