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

Is your Jesus big enough? We all long for answers, healing, and purpose in life (and there’s nothing wrong with that). But the good news is far greater than personal peace or private inspiration — it’s about God rescuing a broken humanity and creation! In the story of the 10 Lepers in Luke 17, ten people are healed, but only one realizes what’s really happening and bows before Jesus. This sermon invites us to grow our vision of who Jesus is and to open our hearts to the incredibly good news that he really has come to save us.
