Building Partners
You don’t have to sit in the pew on Sunday to join the Tai Chi class on Thursday!
Our building partners share our mission to build connection and community, create opportunities for healing, provide safe and expressive spaces, and educate for systems change. We support our building partners by promoting their efforts and co-create community events with them.
