Directions Website Contact the place of worship

Community. Connection. Creativity. Growth. Healing. We provide communities for believers to connect and heal.

Most of our groups meet weekly (or monthly) to share life together. Over the years, we have offered community outreaches, prayer & worship events, creativity workshops, bible studies, book clubs, open art nights, ministry training programs, women’s retreats, and individual/group mentoring. Our ministry aims to create an awareness of God’s presence, involvement and concern in every piece of a person’s life. Our current mountain of influences are out in the marketplace - happening in the realms of business, hospitality, education and art.
