Ephesian Primitive Baptist Church

The community around Ephesian Primitive Baptist Church

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