The community around Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than half 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 3,500 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
