Love your neighbor van on wafb

Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings, called the Love Your Neighbor van, fills this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable. The van also provides clothing, basic first aid care, shoes, nutrition drinks, and more to our homeless neighbors.

Latest Sermon

Most of us want life to be better. Few know where real and lasting change begins. Matthew 3 points the way. People come to John for baptism, turning their lives back toward God. When Jesus steps into the water, he confirms the truth at the heart of transformation: real change begins when we stop chasing the loudest voices and return to the truest one—the call to live a life aligned with God.
