We have 10 acres of forest in which we have been able to develop walking paths, meditation stations and an apiary (honey bee hives)! The stream, pond, variety of wildlife and vegetation all give an atmosphere to be appreciated. The ongoing pleasure of partnership with a wide group of sister churches, local organizations, institutions of higher learning and government entities where one of our goals is to work on a health model of collaboration for the multi-ed level development of urban community.
