Sacred Pathways is an opportunity to discover our deepest self and encounter God. Each Tuesday evening, we gather to explore spiritual practices that open us to a Holy presence and to one another. Engage in diverse spiritual practices and build community on the journey. Then enter slower, meditative worship that invites you to dwell deeply in the Holy. This is an invitation to walk through life differently, to awaken to the divine love that surrounds and sustains us.

Join us on Tuesday, May 19 for Radiant Faith:
At 6:00 P.M. join us for Radiant Connections:
Gather around our table with the support of Compton’s Table. This shared meal is more than nourishment — it’s a time of fellowship, connection, and belonging. You are welcomed into a community where you are seen, valued, and loved. Followed by our third Tuesday worship experience, Radiant Faith.

At 7:00 P.M. join us for Radiant Faith:
Radiant Faith is a queer-centered gathering of worship, wonder, and welcome. Our gatherings at 7:00 P.M. offer a Christian-rooted encounter with the Divine. In partnership with Compton’s Table, this is a trauma-informed approach to communal prayer experiences. Expect diverse music, self-guided prayer stations, and inclusive community. Spiritual seekers and allies are welcome!

If you are a kid who likes bricks, blocks, and , then you should come join the Building Buddies Brigade!

The community room is open weekly to allow children to get to know each other and play together using Edinboro's extensive supply of building materials. There's a room full of building toys and enough space for everyone to have fun making something (and of course, knocking it down!). KEVA blocks, Lincoln Logs, Bankers Box Bricks and more will be available. Children of all ages are welcome, and parents can enjoy the chance to meet other parents in the community. Recommended age is 1 to 6 years old, although older children can accompany younger siblings.
