WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?
The Love Your Neighbor Campaign is rooted in Luke 10 and the story of the Good Samaritan. When a lawyer asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" he was looking for limits. Jesus responded with a story that removed them.
Today, we're challenged by the same question.
Love Your Neighbor invites churches, families, and individuals to intentionally cross boundaries with kindness, generosity, compassion, and service. Through acts of love, both big and small, we can transform our communities one neighbor at a time.

Three Weeks That Could Change the Way You See Your Neighbor
October 18-November 1, 2026
Jesus didn't just tell us to love our neighbors, he showed us what it looks like.
This three-week sermon series explores Luke 10 and the question that started it all: Who is my neighbor?
Each message challenges us to move beyond comfortable definitions of community and embrace a love that crosses difference, inconvenience, and even conflict.
