..to be part of the transformative movement that is APIC. Together, we can build a community that defies divisions and celebrates the beauty of diversity. Join us in prayerful gatherings once a month where we seek God's guidance for our collective journey. Experience the joy of belonging to a welcoming and inclusive space that embraces individuals from all walks of life. Here, your unique background and experiences are valued, and your voice matters. As we confront the challenges of our time, APIC stands as a counterpoint to the prevailing narratives of intolerance and exclusion. Our nation grapples with issues of immigration and territorial boundaries, but APIC seeks to transcend these barriers by creating a welcoming space for all. Inspired by biblical passages and the call to treat the stranger with love, we are committed to breaking down walls and building bridges, fostering a community that embraces diversity and prayerful gatherings
Ecumenical Embracing diverse Faith traditions, we foster unity in our gatherings. Guided by John 17 we embody Christ's prayer for oneness among believers.
Intercultural Our community reflects the global nature of faith, gathering people from around the world to celebrate and learn from each other's cultures.
Celebratory Joyful worship, vibrant music, and festivity mark our gatherings as we celebrate the beauty of unity and God's diverse creation.

Where Second City and Faith collide.
Community A nurturing space of care and friendship, APIC provides a sense of belonging where individuals from various paths find acceptance. We are a unique intersection where differences meet, recognizing that we are not a melting pot or a salad bar but a salad bowl where each flavor enhances the overall experience.
Valuing and Bridging Differences We honor individuality and embrace diverse viewpoints, enriching our unity by fostering understanding and respect among all. Intersection where differences meet.
