East Lake Community Church
What exactly did Jesus mean when He said "the poor you shall have with you always?" We want to be a church of people who understand our own brokenness, and Jesus’s plan to redeem each of us so that we might be able to help others without hurting those He desires us to reach.
If we want to truly help meet people’s needs, we must understand how Jesus would accomplish this noble task. And to understand that we need to comprehend WHY Jesus came to earth. Once we grasp the answer to this question, we can start to truly meet the deepest need all humans have without the risk of hurting them.
