Praise Center Ministries

The community around Praise Center Ministries

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than a third of adults live with obesity, and nearly a quarter of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
