The church has become so divided, disembodied and displaced that it’s nearly impossible for us to be a tangible sign of hope in the everyday life of our neighborhoods.

But look a little closer and you’ll see that God is renewing a truly local church, starting right where we are.

The Parish Collective connects people to be the church in the neighborhood. We do this through telling the stories to make the movement visible, celebrating ordinary heroes, and bringing people together online and in-person for shared learning and inspiration through gatherings and learning communities.
If we don’t learn to be the church in our everyday lives, we lose our power to collectively confront injustices, we ignore the gifts of our neighbors and we perpetuate the systems that keep us apart.

We believe that when we organize the church around God’s dreams for our neighborhoods, there is nothing in the world that cannot be healed, transformed, and liberated.

We are...

Led by practitioners: We believe the future is discovered by practitioners who are living out the way of Jesus in their particular neighborhood.

Informed by stories: We learn best by listening to stories on the ground that inspire us to live and tell our own.

Linked across difference: We connect with one another across different traditions and parishes for belonging, wisdom and innovation.

Committed to equity: We center and amplify perspectives of color and work toward equity and inclusion.

Dependent on the  Spirit: We walk into the future reliant on God as the agent of transformation.
