Love Your
Actual Neighbor
A simple way to build real friendship and belonging — right where you live.
Most of us want more connection. Even when we’re surrounded by people. We just don’t always know how to build it.
Become a Porchlight Home
You can be surrounded
by people.
And still feel alone.
You can go to church every week.
and not feel close to anyone.
You can be all-in on your family.
and realize you don’t really have friends.
You can live in a great neighborhood.
and barely know the people next door.
The good news: this is fixable.
We don’t need more apps or programs.
We need regular interaction with neighbors.
Love your neighbor—
but actually live it.
Rooted in Jesus’ teaching but open to all. The call to love our neighbors isn’t a metaphor—it’s an invitation to know the real people who live near us and choose to show up for them.
How It Works
Porchlight Homes don’t run programs or organize events. They simply commit to three practices that, done consistently, build the kind of neighborhood most of us are quietly hoping for.
Say Yes
Sign up as a Porchlight Home and commit to saying yes when invited—to a block event, a meal, a conversation. If the timing doesn’t work, reschedule. Show appreciation. The yes is what matters.
Show Up
Find a Neighborhood Group and show up regularly. Consistent, unhurried presence is what turns strangers into neighbors. A shared activity. A regular routine. That’s how trust gets built.
Reach Out
Break bread with someone once a quarter. A full meal, a coffee, a slice of pie—anything that creates space to know each other better. One invitation at a time is how real community grows.
Become a Porchlight Home
Join neighbors who are choosing to show up—one porch, one conversation, one friendship at a time.
Count Me In
Want to help bring people together?
Block Builders are the organizers who help neighborhoods actually come together. They commit to hosting 3–4 block events per year and running a regular Neighborhood Group centered around something they love—a walk, a book club, a backyard cookout.
It’s the engine that makes Porchlight Homes possible. And it’s more manageable than you think.

Starting in Lindon
We’re beginning where we live. The Porchlight Home pilot is launching in Lindon, Utah—a real test of what happens when neighbors genuinely choose each other.
Lindon has everything it takes. We just need to choose each other.
