Kingdom Courtyard is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the diverse needs of women primarily within our community. Founded by Dominique and Audra Cabey, the vision began in late 2018 with a desire to provide fellowship and refreshment to women at no cost.
What started as a gesture of kindness in 2019 and 2020 transformed unexpectedly into a foundation after the devastating loss of their children, Liam in 2019 and Naavah in 2021. Recognizing the profound need for support in navigating grief and loss, Kingdom Courtyard extends beyond tangible assistance to address psychological and emotional needs.
In addition to providing for basic needs, we are committed to nurturing individuals through their journey of healing and restoration.
Kingdom Courtyard equips people with the tools they need to overcome life's challenges through conferences and sessions they can attend free of charge. We will engage with various organizations and professionals to organize these sessions.
Kingdom Courtyard, at its core, is a Christ-centered foundation geared towards meeting the social-emotional and basic needs of others within our macro and micro communities.
We cater to people from all walks of life, no matter their religious or non-religious beliefs. James 1:27 states, "Pure and undefiled religion before God and Father is this: visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world."We will always point people toward Faith, Hope, and Love, creating longevity and sustainability with all they'll learn and receive.
