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

Before there was a New Testament, there was the Bible Jesus knew — the Hebrew Scriptures that shaped Jesus’ imagination and understanding of God’s redeeming work in the world. This week, we meet Abraham and Sarah and explore how their story speaks to the deep longing many of us carry: to know our lives matter, to know we are part of something larger than ourselves, and to discover how we can be part of God’s redeeming work in the world.
