COR13's hope is to create a safe space for regular adult social connections; a place where individuals are warmly welcomed and enfolded. Various barriers may prevent individuals from experiencing a sense of community: lack of safe spaces, fear/anxiety, being under the autism spectrum or dealing with other intellectual disabilities, or being unable to drive. COR13 aims to break down these barriers and help participants experience the joy of belonging, and to see the incredible value each person has. Our love for one another is rooted in the deep love shown to us through Jesus Christ, as spoken of in 1 Corinthians 13. This group meets on certain Friday evenings.
