When The Irenic was established over six years ago, it was designed to provide all-ages family-friendly music and entertainment. Their participation in annual events, such as Octoberfest, as well as benefit shows and special events help bring the arts to communities that would otherwise not be able to, because of financial hardships and challenges. The venue, the church that surrounds it, and the community that it uplifts are all part of a new way of thinking about music and Christianity.
