A Space That Reflects
the Peace of Christ

To build a home for the sojourner, we want our physical space to reflect the hospitality and peace of Christ. We are undertaking a $20,000 cosmetic renovation of our main gathering space at Dilworth Baptist Church.

Our historic 45×60ft sanctuary has served this neighborhood faithfully. Now we want to transform it into a place where the exhausted can find rest, where the wandering can find roots — and where every person who walks in feels, before a word is spoken, that they belong here.

Thanks to our church partners who have already sent teams and recommendations, we have a clear, costed plan to make this vision a reality.
