Upcoming Learning Community
All systems that sustain life on this planet have a cycle – from the water cycle to the seasons to the phases of the moon – there is a process that builds on itself, impacts the environment around it, and produces mutual thriving. The Church was meant to be a vital part of the neighborhood ecosystem, woven relationally into the community in ways that draw life and give life symbiotically.
Our next 2 year program will walk participants through a step by step skill building process that starts with relationship building in your team and in your neighborhood. Then we will help you map the ecosystem of your neighborhood and understand how you fit into the wider story of the community that you inhabit. Next we will help you start to build a network of relationships within that larger ecosystem and begin to find your partners in this work. Lastly, you will go through a discernment season that takes all of the work and relationships and learning of the previous 18 months and begins to ask the question, “who is God calling us to be and partner with and what is the work of mending that we are being called to participate in?”. From that discernment process, we will help you distill your next steps for this work so that you can graduate from this program with a plan and the tools you need to be a force for healing and mutual thriving in your community.
Our application will go live February 3rd, 2026. Check back for more updates that will be shared in the coming months.
