What truly sets this church apart is its commitment to outreach and community service. I have had the privilege of participating in various volunteer programs, and it’s inspiring to see how this church extends its love and support to those in need, both within and beyond its walls.
My experience with this welcoming and vibrant community has been truly uplifting. From the moment I walked through their doors, I was greeted with open arms and warm smiles, making me feel like part of their family from day one.
Castle Street was the Church community I needed at a difficult time in my life and I didn’t know I needed them until I found them. I found complete acceptance for who I am with no expectations on me to conform to anything but was celebrated for being me. It helped build me up and I’m in such a better place.
