Community Development for All People

Creating a Community that Cares for All People

Chartered in 2003, The Church for All People grew out of the message of unconditional love offered by the Free Store and the atmosphere of hospitality it created. It is intentionally cross-class and multi-racial. The church welcomes each of us as we are, no matter who we are or what we have done, and offers an environment where each of us can grow in our discipleship and turn our lives toward the light.

The United Methodist Free Store

Since 1999 the Free Store has provided free clothing and household goods to anyone who seeks them, as an outward expression of god's unconditional love. Over 35,000 families are Free Store members and about $2 million worth of goods are given away each year.
