Asylum works to bring the love and acceptance of Christ to people from various alternative Subcultures. Punks, Metallers, Goths, Bikers etc. are often rejected or hurt by many churches / Christians. Asylum tries to undo some of that damage by building friendships. It has a weekly fellowship and monthly club featuring local bands. We raise funds and awareness for other charities through our events.
