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

This powerful message takes us deep into John 14, where Jesus gives us what might seem like a simple command: if you love me, keep my commandments. But what does that really mean? Rather than a long list of religious rules to follow, we discover that Jesus distills everything down to one transformative commandment: love one another as I have loved you.
