Welcome to the New Waves Community!
Our community welcomes anyone who is aligned with our basic values and wants to help us:

Your role in this community is TOTALLY up to you. We would love to get to know you and invite you to join us for any of the activities on our calendar. We want you to feel comfortable, so we have no expectations of anything from you except that you also accept and respect everyone else who is a part of our community; their sex/gender identity, the country that they come from, their housing stability status, life choices, spiritual beliefs(or lack thereof), unique perspectives, and anything else that makes someone different than you. Please just be KIND.

Where did it all begin?
The New Waves United Church of Christ created the entire New Waves housing project as partners with Habitat for Humanity GTR. Here’s the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJcTYpyo78Y
We offer:
Community Partnerships
The New Waves Community isn’t just people who get together at the New Waves Community House, although that’s an important part of who we are. We’re part of our larger community and the partnerships we make with other groups working toward improving our basic values are the center of who we are.
Spiritual Growth Opportunities
We believe that connection to a higher power is the center of who we are as a community. We know that everyone has their own perspectives or interests in how they connect spiritually, so invite you to check into these Open and Affirming places of worship in our community.
If you’re interested, we’d like to direct you to New Waves United Church of Christ’s information. That’s the church that actually created the entire New Waves housing project and maintains the New Waves Community House.
