“On Saturday nights, the Latin gospel music pouring from the two-story honey-colored building on Fairfield Avenue awakens this narrow industrial strip in Waterside. On Sunday mornings, Caribbean-flavored gospel music roars, charging the atmosphere.

Inside, churchgoers lift their voices and hands - some jumping, some trembling - as they summon the Holy Spirit in their native languages. The preachers deliver fiery sermons, proclaiming God’s word and offering salvation or redemption.

Every weekend, two churches from two immigrant communities share one building and one faith.”*
