Who We Are
Mission
Center DC exists to help people practicing & exploring Islam experience God: one relationship at a time!
Vision
We envision a world where everyone has access to prophetic community: spaces where one can grow faith from where ever the starting point is, ask questions, share ones’ self, learn, struggle towards understanding, make mistakes, practice forgiveness and cultivate joy with others who are also living and practicing Islam.
It all started when…
Since 2015, Center DC has been facilitating faith-based gatherings that help people practicing and/or exploring Islam grow authentic relationships with other seekers and with God. We believe that relationships are healing and that God is for everyone - that’s why cultivating meaningful faith-centric relationships between peers is the core of what Center DC does. We are a small community made up of believers and seekers, longing to grow closer to God in community, together. Based on the prophetic model of 1-to-1 connections, we facilitate opportunities for individuals to be witnessed, cared for, and supported; many who have - for one reason or another - grown distant from their faith or community.
At every gathering, we work to facilitate shared moments, support spiritual wellness, and nurture Islamic literacy by providing platforms for people to learn, reflect and speak; to be both heard and listened to.
In February 2023, we secured our OWN full time permanent space again in The District, alhamdulillah!
We are 95% donor funded by people like you (having received our first grant from Islamic Relief in 2023!).
