The Real Connection
Our mission: is to create a welcoming and inclusive community that honors spirituality without adhering to any specific religion. We aim to bridge the divides of inequality by opening doors to opportunities, helping individuals find their way to spiritual enlightenment. Through meaningful community involvement and engaging artistic expression, we seek to inspire and connect everyone on their personal journeys, fostering a spirit of togetherness and personal growth.
The Real Connection is a grassroots spiritual church rooted in relationship, accountability, and community care. We are organized as an unincorporated spiritual association and guided by shared leadership rather than hierarchy.

Board members serve renewable one-year terms, helping ensure transparency, balance, and continuity.
The Board oversees finances, safeguarding, and organizational decisions.

Records of decisions and finances are maintained internally.
Internal bylaws and policies guide our operations and are kept on record by the Board.
