Twelve Tribes Community in Savannah
Savannah, Georgia,
United States
(Downtown Historic District)
 Under the shade of the majestic Live Oak trees with their Spanish Moss blowing gently in the breeze, is the beautiful historic downtown of Savannah, Georgia. Right on the coast, and very rich with history, many people visit here from all over the world. People look in awe at the beautiful Civil War era mansions that line the streets. Right here, downtown, in one of these stately homes, lives a very humble and simple people. We are not the wealthy ones you might expect to find in such an area as this, but ones who have given up everything to live for and serve our Creator and one another.
We live downtown where our life can be seen by all, for we love this life we have been given and want to share it with all those seeking the real purpose for their lives. So, here in this lovely home, you won't find the rich and powerful, but you will find people loving one another, taking care of their children, cooking meals for each other, all working for the common good of all. We want people to see this life of love that is more amazing than anything else that has ever happened in this historic area. We want to invite you to come see for yourself, too. You are welcome to come visit anytime.
