Amen.
Who is ready to listen for the Spirit together?
"When people gather intent upon centering in God and listening to one another, they fashion an atmosphere of hospitality to the Spirit. The potential for being touched by God’s truth and wisdom is heightened. In the company of the Spirit, the potential of the group far exceeds what the individuals together bring to it."

Our house is a house of prayer for all regardless of your age, race, ethnicity, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical and/or mental abilities. We welcome everyone.

We believe that all are equal and loved unconditionally by God. May you find the quiet peace of God in our midst.
