Mission statement:

Our Christian mission is to share God’s transforming, healing love with those persons who have lost a significant love relationship through separation and/or divorce. We strive to welcome and engage all participants on a journey of personal and spiritual growth and provide emotional support and opportunities for social activities. Guided by the Holy Spirit in fellowship and service, the St. Gabriel community opens its arms to all in need of this ministry.
