WSFirst

The community around WSFirst

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 6 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and about a third of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
