Who are we?
We are followers of the Hare Krishna movement, practicing bhakti yoga—the yoga of love and devotion to Krishna, the Supreme Divine. This path, rooted in the ancient Vedas (over 5,000 years old), is the foundation of many spiritual traditions, including yoga.
In 1965, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada introduced the Hare Krishna movement to the West, envisioning it as a global effort to inspire spiritual transformation and unity.
Bhakti yoga teaches that anyone can experience divine love (Bhakti), the essence of all religions and the ultimate goal of life.
We follow four principles for spiritual growth
Through these practices, we aim to develop a deeper connection with the Supreme Divine.
01
Compassion:

03
Self-discipline:

Avoiding gambling.

FAQ
Find out what to expect
Learn more about our values and our story as a church by visiting the about us page.
What are your gatherings like?
First, we must understand church is not a building, a Sunday school class, or a service time. According to scripture, a church gathering is a group of people coming together in Christ and the people are the church. Jesus shows us in Matthew 18 that a gathering can be as little as two people together.
What happens when I visit?
The service usually involves the singing of hymns, reading of scripture verses and possibly a psalm. If the church follows a lectionary, the sermon will often be about the scripture lections assigned to that day. Eucharistic churches have usually Holy Communion either every Sunday or several Sundays a month.
What should I bring?
There are no rules as to what to bring to church, other than your self, an open heart and mind. Some bring a bible, if you’re going to engage in bible study.
How should I dress?
If you want to know how to dress for church, something modest and comfortable should be fine. Generally, graphic tees that show off sports team logos or bands should never be worn to church. Solid-colored tops are fine, and even something with a pattern should be OK to wear.
Can I invite people to come with?
Ask your friends if they have a place to worship the Savior and invite them to come worship with you, especially at times like Christmas and Easter. If they aren’t Christians, ask them if they’d like to learn more about Jesus Christ and invite them to experience a Christian worship service with you. Remember to show the same respect for their beliefs that you hope they will give yours.
What if we didn't answer your question?
 There are many questions Christians are asked that the individual Christian is unable to answer. It happens all the time.
