About Calabash

Mission & Values

What we stand for, and the principles behind everything we do.

Members of the community chatting warmly together, love, grace and compassion in practice

Our vision

A melting pot of cultures, people, ideas and dreams. A place where there is love, grace, compassion and company.

An opportunity to gather regularly with like-minded people, to enjoy a time of ‘being’, amongst a community where you feel you ‘belong’.

The purpose of Calabash-Bridge is to be a safe space for people of every nation, tribe, people group and language, standing hand-in-hand, alongside their church families and community allies of all backgrounds.

United on a firm foundation of love, grace and the unity of a multicultural community.

So as to nurture a sense of belonging, empowerment and support for one another — for people of all walks of life.

Love, grace and unity is the foundation Calabash-Bridge is built upon.

We aim to promote a safe space, for our Calabash tribe of all ages, to gather regularly.

An oasis, a home away from home — a club where different nations meet, mingle and celebrate each other.
