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 started something you knew would be good for you—a habit, a routine, a commitment—but eventually gave up when life got busy or progress felt slow? The same thing can happen in our life with Jesus -- but it doesn’t have to. In the final message of the Transformed series, we hear Paul speak from prison about what keeps him pressing forward when giving up would make more sense. His insight will change how you think about perseverance—and about your life with Jesus.
