Our Evening of Celebration is a time to connect with Water Street in a unique way. You’ll be the first to see the “120 Ways to Share the Gospel” exhibit by New York Times photographer Adam Pape.

We’ll also highlight beautiful art and poetry by guests of Water Street Mission themselves, all sharing the story of God’s restoration in our community.

See Stories of Restoration

See how Water Street is helping a mom rebuild for her children – and how one man is pulling himself out of generational poverty.

Your support at this event helps fund the life-changing work that continues every day. We hope you’ll join us.

This Year's Theme

What Does It Take to Walk Through the Door?

We all encounter doorways in our lifetime. Some are exciting to walk through, others daunting. We may wonder, How do we know if it’s the right one? What will we find on
the other side?
This exhibit and program focus on the bravery of walking through a new doorway, and how Water Street meets
people in spaces of vulnerability, with healing relationships and hope that lasts.

  • Art Exhibits Highlighting Our MinistriesA Special Exhibit Highlighting The Artwork Of Our Guests

  • A Three Course Meal

  • Inspiring Stories Of God Working At Water Street And In Our Community

  • Update From Water Street President, Jack Crowley

  • A Special Thank You To Our Water Street Supporters

Cost: $30/Individual and $300/Table
*Free Parking Will Be Included.
