love the 818

"That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served-and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage." Matthew 20:28

Love The 818 exists to serve the people and community of Burbank. Our heart is to make sure that every person knows that Jesus loves them not simply based on our words, but through how we love and serve one another.
