FAQ

Have questions? We have the answers!

Where are you located?

We are located at 350 S. York Rd. in Hatboro, PA. We share space with The Welcome Project PA, as well as other nonprofits. Our driveway is located between our building and Nu Life Cleaners.

What should I expect?

We are an informal community of faith that welcomes all. Wear whatever is comfortable, bring your whole self, bring your questions and ideas.

What are Spiritual Circles?

Spiritual Circles create a sense of Community, Belongingness, and foster healthy listening and compassionate relationships through the learning about and exercising of a wide spectrum of spiritual practices.

All ages and identities and expressions are welcome to join the Circles. We will curate and provide a brave and safe space for people to recognize their shared humanity and the common ground of their struggles. They will listen deeply and openly. We will practice vulnerability and confidentiality.

Each Circle will be facilitated by 1-2 leaders and will begin with a theme/scripture/concept, leading into learning, discussion, and artistic expressions.

What types of service projects may I participate in?

Once a month on Saturday we co-host a Fresh Produce Outreach in Warrington, a volunteer opportunity open to all ages.

Periodically, we participate in service-learning projects in Greater Philadelphia that include: urban gardening, cleanup, food security, repairs, and more.

How can I become a member?

We don't have a formal membership process. All who participate in our faith community, whether in service, spiritual programs, or education, are members of our community.

If I have further questions, who can I contact?
