601 Shared Tenant Values: A Shared Vision for Community Transformation

As a faith community, we believe that true transformation happens when we come together. That’s why we’re honored to share space at 601, with Solidarity and a new partner, Vital Roots. This building has always been a place where organizations with a heart for justice, restoration, and hope are working side by side to meet the needs of our neighborhood. These partnerships are more than just a shared building or doing work projects—it’s a shared mission. Each tenant at 601 Community Center brings a unique focus and gifts. No single organization can do it all, but together, we are co-creating a space where we can see a clearer presence of God's Kingdom that is already here.

I (Elliot) like to say that we have a symbiotic relationship. As my friend and mentor, Sheridan McDaniels, likes to say, "Relationship is the currency of the Kingdom." We support one another, share resources, and make decisions collectively, ensuring that this place remains a place of dignity, empowerment, and community care. I am so proud be doing church here, in this community, with these neighbors and friends. 601 E. Valencia Drive is more than an address and location; it’s a movement of people committed to seeing our neighborhood flourish. And Ican’t wait to see what God has in store all of us!
