The purpose of our Sacred Conversation groups is to invite people into meaningful dialogue and to create spaces of both spiritual and human connection. These gatherings are rooted in radical welcome, offering a sense of belonging and room for honest, compassionate conversation.
​
Aligned with our fall sermon series, Hospitality, Belonging, and the Way of Jesus, these groups are designed to nurture authentic relationships, build trust, and deepen our connection with others and with the sacred. We aim to create spaces of true belonging, where all people know they are seen, known, and loved.
​
We invite you to either start your own Sacred Conversation group or join one at church. Anyone can lead a group, just begin with the people already in your life. You might gather with your lunch friends from work, your book club, neighbors, or even your running or yoga buddies. You decide how often and where you meet: weekly, twice a month, or just once a month. Your group can meet at a local coffee shop, around a fire pit, or in your backyard. Wherever you gather, meaningful conversation and sacred connection can take root.
​
We will offer short training guidelines and conversation starters. Check them out below...
