Rooted here
A new chapter.
An enduring calling.
Our story carries Puerto Rican roots and a long connection to Cleveland’s Latino community. In 2024, a gifted church campus on Memphis Avenue opened a new chapter in Brooklyn.
Today, this place is a home for worship, discipleship, and neighbor-to-neighbor care. The story is still being written—and there is room for you in it.
Your next chapter can start here
Come as you are.
