The Community in Lancaster

The community in Lancaster began in 1988 when a small group of us had vision to restore an old, fire-damaged building down on Main Street. Amazingly, restoration has been coming to this building just as it has been in our lives as we've given ourselves to sharing a common life of love and unity — devoted to one another and to our Creator. At this time there are about 35 of us living and working together. Every morning and evening we gather together to sing, dance, and share from the overflow of our hearts the thanksgiving we have for the one we believe made it possible for us to have this rich, full life together: our master, Yahshua the Messiah.

We own and operate a shoe-and-clothing store in our building and also have a general contracting business, as we look forward to completing our building by adding a café that will be called the Common Ground and will adjoin the shoe store, where we can all work together, providing a place for others to come and meet us on "common ground." Our desire is for people to see a true demonstration of those who live and work together in unity as a result of the forgiveness they've received from Yahshua... the ultimate restoration! Our hope is to share our life with anyone who also seeks this same unity through a good conscience and belief in Yahshua — the Son of God. [Feb99]
