Higher Ground Christian Center

The community around Higher Ground Christian Center

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 adults live with obesity. About a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly a quarter of adults are worried about keeping the housing they have. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
