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

Have you ever tried to force yourself to be less anxious, more settled, more faithful, or something else — and failed? What if the problem wasn't your effort, but the story you’re telling yourself? This sermon explores how real transformation happens not through more effort, but by immersing ourselves in the story God is telling. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5, we explore what changes when we stop listening to the wrong story and start living in the story Jesus tells.
