The Grove Church

The community around The Grove Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of the people here live below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter describe their own health as fair or poor. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
