Hey friends,

We had a break-in at the space we've been building out for ministry and future offices.

Several items were taken. Bluetooth speakers we planned to give to teens, a tool bag used for apartment repairs, a reciprocating saw, and basic cleaning supplies.

It’s frustrating.

But this is part of the reality of the neighborhood we love.

And it’s also why we’re here.

Not to stand at a distance, but to be present. To build trust. To invest in one another. To believe that what’s broken doesn’t get the final word.

So we’ll replace what was lost. We’ll keep showing up. We’ll keep building, repairing, and pouring into the next generation.

We’re in this together.

Thanks for standing with us.

Well done and thank you for a life well-lived, a lasting legacy, and a model we all hope to strive for.

The man I’ve called Daddy, died. Dr. John M. Perkins died this morning, March 13, 2026, surrounded at home by his wife and family.

To the world, he was Dr. John M. Perkins, a voice for justice, reconciliation, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He received 19 honorary doctorate degrees, but most importantly, he was the devoted husband of his bride, Vera Mae Perkins, for 74 years, and together they were blessed with 8 children.

But to me, he was Daddy.

My heart is broken, yet full of gratitude for the gift of being his daughter. His life was marked by courage, humility, faith, and love. He poured himself out for God, for people, and for the work of reconciliation.

Please keep our family in your prayers as we grieve, honor, and celebrate his extraordinary life and legacy.

Daddy, thank you. We love you, and we will carry your legacy forward. V. Elizabeth Perkins

It was so exciting to visit partner church Crosswinds Wesleyan Church yesterday. We loved meeting some of their cafe team and enjoyed their unique 1888 Blend, courtesy of New City Cafe & Roastery.

Thanks for casting such a compelling vision for why a cup of coffee is an investment in place-based ministry in the Beechwood neighborhood!
