The community around First Christian Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 adults live with obesity. Nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
