On February 19, 2001, something miraculous emerged here in beautiful southwest Florida. Ninety-eight of us met with Rev. Dr. Wayne Robinson to consider the possibility of forming a new congregation.
Our first service was held the Sunday after the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Those were challenging times in America. In a time of heightened paranoia and Islamophobia, we offered an alternative of love, trust and inclusiveness. We recognized that we had a unique opportunity to create something that is much needed– a congregation of inclusive and loving people, who would devote themselves to supporting each other, and making this a better world.
​
Our identity and principles are defined by the values of: Justice · Equity · Compassion.
