Your Sacred Space Away From the Storm

Find Your Peace. Leave Your Worries at the Door.

Life is heavy right now. The world feels overwhelming. Your shoulders carry more than they should. Tonight, we invite you to set it all down.

This isn't just an event—it's your sanctuary. A judgment-free zone where you can exhale deeply, settle into your seat, and remember what it feels like to simply.

No expectations. No pressure. No masks required.

Come exactly as you are. Bring your family. Gather your friends. Find a cozy spot and let the voices of our community wash over you like a healing balm. Every story shared, every song sung, every poem spoken is medicine for weary souls.

Here, stress melts away. Hope returns. You'll find yourself smiling without trying, connecting without effort, and leaving with a heart that feels fuller than when you arrived.

This is your reminder that beauty still exists, community still matters, and your peace is still possible.

Take a breath. Take a seat. Take this gift of an evening where the world's noise fades and your spirit gets to remember what it feels like to soar.

Shine As You Dream

Come As You Are

Ready to take the stage? Registration happens right here, right when you arrive—first come, first served! Whether you're 8 or 80, seasoned performer or first-timer, this is YOUR moment to shine.

We're all about that warm, family-friendly vibe where clean entertainment meets raw authenticity. Think living room conversations meets center stage magic. Bring your kids, your grandparents, your best friend who's never been to anything like this—everyone belongs here.

Rain or Shine, We Shine Together Nothing stops this night of inspiration. Come ready to be moved, whether the weather cooperates or not. The real warmth comes from the hearts in the room.

Furthermore, Pastor Howard believes in baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost as the Bible says in Matthew 28.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
