We are passionate about fostering a community grounded in Diplomacy, Inclusion, Respect, and Empathy. Every Tuesday night, we come together for fellowship and prayer, as we journey through the book of Acts, applying its timeless lessons to our lives. Our focus is to create a nurturing space where we can uplift and encourage one another, growing in our relationships with Christ and with each other. This group warmly welcomes people of all ages, and families are especially encouraged to attend. What makes our gatherings unique is the leadership of two members from the disabled community, who bring invaluable perspectives and experiences. We believe that through thoughtful discussions and shared experiences, we can all grow together and become beacons of hope for one another.
