Jeff Keeling, Neil Owen, and Drew Smith leading a panel discussion on the Tree Streets.
It was an informative session. Some of the takeaways:
- There is a lot of community pride in the Tree Streets neighborhoods.
- Many non-Christians in the Tree Streets are skeptical of the church based upon their concerns that the church is anti-homosexuality and anti- any number of things.
- The East End of the Tree Streets has more financial need than the West End.
- The community is one of the most diverse in Johnson City, racially and economically.
- The extreme East End of the Tree Streets (across the interstate) has very little church support.
- Some of the residents of the Tree Streets have grown old enough that they are unable to do routine maintenance on their homes.
- The Tree Streets are a friendly and open community.
