95 percent of people living in apartments do not attend a church.
40 percent of those people said they would attend if someone asked them.
Apartment Life is a faith-based non-profit organization dedicated to helping apartment owners create community by attracting and retaining residents. This is accomplished by placing a CARES Team (a married couple/ family or two single adults) to live onsite to assist management in building community and serving residents. CARES Teams recognize that residents want more than just a place to live - they want a community of friends, a place to belong, and a caring touch. CARES Teams are neighbors who make an apartment a home!.
The CARES Team (two single adults or a married couple/family) lives rent free while doing things that naturally flow from the Christian life: welcoming new residents, connecting with people through apartment-wide events, and caring for the staff and residents.
Apartment Life has partnered with PCPC and we are looking for members of PCPC who are ready to build community and transform lives. Our desire is to see a community effort to volunteer, pray, and encourage CARES Teams. There are 15 teams currently serving in Uptown and Downtown; two of those teams are from PCPC. Each one needs our encouragement!
