The Simple Way is a small organization dedicated to supporting and empowering neighbors in building a thriving and inclusive community. Their mission revolves around finding ways to celebrate together, beautify the neighborhood through gardening and practical collaborations, and advocating for systemic change when obstacles arise. Established in Kensington, the organization is made up of a diverse mix of individuals who have either grown up in the area or recently become neighbors.

The Simple Way's story began in 1995 when dozens of homeless families faced eviction from an abandoned church building. In response, the families boldly challenged the injustice and hung a banner asking, How can we worship a homeless man on Sunday and ignore one on Monday? This act sparked the birth of The Simple Way. Building on the principles of sharing resources, meeting community needs, and gathering for worship in homes, the organization has grown into a close-knit village of neighbors committed to living out the Gospel.

In addition to their grassroots efforts, The Simple Way also partners with local organizations and friends to provide support services, distribute food, and connect individuals with nearby resources. They believe in the power of love and collaboration to create a secure and flourishing environment for all. If their story has inspired you to take action and follow Jesus in your own community, they encourage you to go for it!

The Simple Way is a beacon of hope, driving positive change one neighborhood at a time
