Love for our community in the south part of St. Louis City, County, and Jefferson County (Love for the South)
We use door tag invitations, social media, and personal invitations to invite those we know who are not attached to a faith community. We are intentional about incorporating the arts, community fun, and social engagement to widen our effectiveness for the common good. |

Love for our neighbors on the Street
We host a resource box and mini food pantry on the street beside the bus stop. Daily, we supply books and food. We host winter outreach in our building during the winter, we open our building for weekly dinners, and summer barbecues, and we offer wifi that extends to the street, and an outdoor cell-phone charging location, year round. |

Love for the soil
We cultivate and support environmental responsibility in our community. We have installed a solar array on our flat roof offsetting our electricity use by 80% annually. We are transitioning a portion of our lawn to drought resistent lavender. In conjunction with Metropolitan Congregations United and UMSL, we are hosting an air quality monitor to gather data about particulates and public health. Finally, we are continuing our committment to reuse, recycle, and reduce our consumption.
