We consider our building a major asset for our community; and part of our mission is to
have it be used as many hours and days as possible. We are open to several groups who meet
here daily, weekly, or monthly. We try to accommodate all requests that are compatible
with our ministry - who, for instance, seek to promote our neighborhood, serve children,
help people in recovery; or groups that provide safety for the inclusion diverse peoples
(such as the GLBT community) and who work for social justice.
At present, these are the groups that regularly meet here:
