Do I need to be Muslim to visit?

Absolutely not. Our doors are open to everyone. Most of our first-time visitors are not Muslim, and many are simply curious.

Modest clothing — generally, shoulders and knees covered. Women are welcome to bring a head covering, though we have spare scarves at the entrance. You'll remove your shoes before entering the prayer hall.

Will I be expected to participate?

No. You're welcome to observe quietly from the side. If you'd like to join, someone will gladly walk you through it.

Yes — free on-site parking, with overflow on neighboring streets during Jumma and major events.

Yes, please do. Children of all ages are welcome at every event. We have a family section in the prayer hall and a youth program for older kids.
