A Night of Faith and Art

From powerful CHH performances to heartfelt poetry and storytelling, every artist brought their unique voice to the stage. The atmosphere buzzed with connection and inspiration, as attendees experienced how art can be a vehicle for faith and hope. This event wasn’t just a showcase... it was a movement, uniting people through creativity and purpose.
