Live, Interactive Learning Experience
We host energetic Live Bible Parties that go beyond passive listening. These sessions are highly interactive, encouraging questions, discussion, and shared discovery among the participants. This live/live-streamed format is supported by Devotional Music which prepares the heart to receive the lesson in the scriptures. Afterwards we enjoy a soulful meal from Georgia Anne Muldrow's "Jesus is Love Restaurant," while engaging in hearty conversations that make our gatherings warm and memorable.
Unlocking Wisdom from the Sacred Scriptures
Our primary focus is to gain authentic WISDOM from the Old and New Testaments. We delve deeply into the Holy Bible seeking context and insight that translate ancient scripture into modern guidance with practical application. This commitment to community excellence through deep scriptural exploration ensures every attendee gains meaningful, life-altering knowledge.
Support
Creative Compassion: Support for the Incarcerated
We utilize art to bring comfort through initiatives like our watercolor postcard campaign for the unjustly incarcerated. This engagement allows our community to channel our creative talents into acts of profound compassion, using watercolor paints. We create art with personalized messages that offer hope and spiritual support for those in need of encouragement and recognition.
Spreading Joy Through Music: Make a Joyful Noise Community Outreach
We actively foster connection and uplift spirits with our Make a Joyful Noise musical outreach. These intimate events  generate positive energy and include the talents of others who many times are quite  skillful in their creative expressions. Connection happens  when people feel free to participate in our presentations that bring Joy to heart. Good happens when people feel included.
