Our Vision.
Be still and know that I am God.
Our Mission.
We are committed to providing a quiet place where the Spirit of God can touch all who come and can nurture an ever expanding contemplative community.
Our History.
Established in 1981 in response to the needs of those searching for a deep personal relationship with God, the 40 year history of the ministry and the community of the House has been one of growth and change.
The one constant has been the vision at its heart: "Be still and know that I am God."
