Guiding Light Ministries International

The community around Guiding Light Ministries International

It takes 2.6 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 adults say they are socially isolated, and more than a third of adults live with obesity, and nearly a quarter of adults here carry depression. 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.
