Jazz

“God has wrought many things out of oppression… the capacity to create… sweet songs of sorrow and joy…Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties… they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph. This is triumphant music… When life itself offers no order and meaning, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth which flow through his instrument… Much of the power of our Freedom Movement in the United States has come from this music. It has strengthened us with its sweet rhythms when courage began to fail. It has calmed us with its rich harmonies when spirits were down. And now, Jazz is exported to the world. For in the particular struggle of the Negro in America there is something akin to the universal struggle of modern man. Everybody has the Blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In… Jazz, there is a stepping stone towards all of these.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Mission

To paint the globe with the message of A Love Supreme, and in doing so promote global unity, peace on earth, and knowledge of the one true living God.

Come calm the mind and tune into the spirit as you are guided through a meditation on the testimony and music of Saint John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. Great for old time Coltrane lovers and new listeners as well. Join us and experience the power of this anointed sound...the music and wisdom of Saint John Coltrane.


We encourage everyone to participate in the services by singing along, clapping your hands, and dancing. If you play an instrument, bring it. Get your praise on! Mass consists of Confession, the Coltrane Liturgy, Scripture readings, Hymns, Spirituals, and Preaching.
