Our Community

We Are Better Together

We are a group of people brought together through the love of Jesus Christ. We are all broken people, each with our share of problems in our lives. So, we know what it’s like. We’re not expecting you to have it all together. You belong here, together in fellowship with Christ. Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

Historic Woodland Hills area of Cleveland

BUCKEYE-WOODLAND was an east side Hungarian community, est. after 1880, which once held the largest concentration of HUNGARIANS in the U.S. Earlier Hungarian settlements at E. 79th and Holton eventually expanded to E. 72nd on the west, Woodland on the north, E. 140th on the east, and Kinsman on the south, with Buckeye Rd. being the prime location for homes and businesses. This area is best known for LUKE EASTER PARK, at Kinsman Road and East 116th streets in southeast Cleveland (formerly known as WOODLAND HILLS PARK). Luke Easter Park also housed the Woodland Hills swimming pool, ball diamonds, a playground, outdoor basketball courts, an outdoor running track, bleachers, and shelter houses for picnicking.

Let’s Be Friends

Life is hard, but it’s easier together.  We’re able to encourage each other, have fun together, and support each other in hard times. That’s why God designed us for community. We’re better together.
