Why we exist
The Hebrew word Avodah means work, worship, and service.
We believe those were never meant to be separated.
This is a place for quiet reflection.
For beautiful craftsmanship.
For faithful stewardship.
For family.
For Sabbath.
For remembering that Christ is Lord over every ordinary corner of life.
Welcome.
