National Fund for Sacred Places

As one of just 30 congregations selected from 319 applicants nationwide, we’ve received a prestigious grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places—but to unlock the full award, we must raise $500,000 in matching funds to restore our sacred space and expand our ministry.

Your contributions will help open our doors wider, welcome more people in, and ensure this sacred place continues to nourish hearts and souls for generations to come.
