Closer to God. Freer in spirit.
A spiritual formation center in New Haven, for people done with performance.
For the quietly faithful.
You grew up with the language, but the performance no longer fits. You still read the texts, but you are allergic to the theater. You are looking for a faith that holds up in real life, without losing your dignity or your mind. This is a safe space to speak openly, to dismantle dogma, and to grow into a lived spiritual freedom.
You still read. You still believe something. You just can't do the show anymore.
Come on Sunday
Our weekly gathering. 10am. Silence, scripture, and table fellowship. No registration. No pressure.
Plan your visit.Walk the Rhythm
A nine-month formation journey in a small cohort, practicing a quiet rule of life.
Explore the rhythm.Sit with a Director
One-to-one spiritual companionship. Not coaching, just attentive listening.
Request a conversation.We practice a quiet rhythm: silence to hear what is real, scripture read without the pulpit, a circle where everyone has a seat, and a fire to sit around when the day is done. We do not promise to fix you. We offer a place to stay.
Everything we gather for.
Sunday Fellowship · Bible Study · Friday Night Prayer · Young Adult Fellowship · Healing Circles · Homeless Outreach · Formation Cohort. All open. No registration required for most. Come when you're ready.
Join the circle.
"I spent half my life building stages before I realized God is usually found in the dirt. We started ADONI because we needed a place where we didn't have to pretend anymore. If you're tired of the noise, there is an empty chair here for you."
Come as you are.
Sunday fellowship, 10am. 660 Winchester Avenue, New Haven, CT.
No registration. No pressure.
The fire is lit. The circle is open. There is nothing to prove.
Everything here is open.
ADONI is supported by people who believe this work matters. Most of what we do is free — letters, conversations, the podcast, the Sunday table. Take what you need. Give when you can.
