We Believe in Community
We believe that true community is the intentional intersection where people with different backgrounds, perspectives and dreams beautifully share life. We believe community begins with eye contact, open ears and sincere handshakes. We believe in the sharing of meals; the literal and figurative breaking of bread that bonds. We believe that when you seek your interests and passions that your community organically grows with those on your left and right. We believe in creating experiences that heighten our senses, ignite joy and allow us all to make play a priority.
