Closer to God.
Freer in spirit.
A spiritual formation center in New Haven for people seeking faith without pressure.
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.
Come on Sunday
Our weekly gathering. 10am. Silence, scripture, and open fellowship. No registration. No pressure.
Plan your visit.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 are not here to rush your process. We offer a space to listen, be honest, and return to what is real.
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 circle. Take what you need. Give when you can.

I started ADONI because I know what it feels like to carry faith as pressure instead of relationship. I wanted to build a place where people could breathe, be honest, and find what is real again. If you're tired of the noise, there is an empty chair here for you.
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.
