Twelve Tribes Community in Arcadia
Arcadia, Florida,
United States
 Nestled between the cattle ranches and citrus groves of southwest Florida is the quaintest little town called Arcadia. It?s here that many people come to camp along the banks of the Peace River, whereas others like to canoe, meandering along as the river flows gracefully past cypress trees and oaks draped with Spanish moss. The beauty of our Creator is abundant here as one can appreciate His gift to man. As beautiful and wonderful as Arcadia is, especially along the Peace River, there are a people who came here for more than enjoying the splendor of His creation. And this is to meet the wonderful people to live here. We do have a community of people here in Arcadia who live together for one common goal, to love our Creator and to love those created in His image. Our God has placed the Twelve Tribes communities all over the world and Arcadia happens to be one of the little spots chosen that means a lot to Him. He has chosen Arcadia to be one of His homes. And we of the community want to give ourselves to Him by loving those who seek Him and desire his life.
