Hello Neighborhood Church Family,
Did you know the story of Neighborhood Church began 75 years ago, in 1948, in the home of a young couple named Bob and Lucille Willems? And wow, our world has changed over the last seven decades.
Did you know in 1948…
Visalia only had a population of 11,000
The average cost of a new home was $30,000
A dozen eggs cost: .79 cents
Columbia Records introduced the first Vinyl LP Records that could play music continuously for 30 minutes without repeating
Today Visalia...
Has a population of more than 140,000
The average cost of a new home is $375,000
The average cost of a dozen eggs is $7
Vinyl LP records are considered historic and your iPhone 14 can hold 51,000 songs that can play music continuously for 124 days without repeating
Do you know what hasn’t changed in the last 75 years? Neighborhood Church’s mission to impact our community with the love of Jesus.
For 75 years our church family has asked the question, “How can we help?”
As we look ahead and consider our season at Neighborhood Church, we want to continue the work of those who came before us.
Because we believe our work as a church is UNFINISHED.
We’ve created a video along with resources to show you exactly what we have planned over the next three years. You can check that out at the link below.
I hope you’ll join me in helping write the next chapter in Neighborhood Church’s unfinished story.
