What we’re about
BETWEEN is about YOUR FAITH and HUMAN CONNECTION. We're a different kind of faith group built for curious, welcoming, thoughtful people who want to reconnect a lonely, divided, disconnected world. We're highly inclusive of all love-filled beliefs, identity expressions, and faith backgrounds. Bring YOUR beliefs and discuss how we can learn from ancient spiritual wisdom to be better at HUMAN CONNECTION.
This is a local group based on BETWEEN. We typically gather in a small group, get to know one another a little, discuss a recent BETWEEN sermon or article and leave empowered to create more moments of sacred human connection in our lives.
BETWEEN Groups (like ours) gather all over the world. A BETWEEN Group happens when people gather to discuss the important stuff of life at the intersection of their own faith and human connection.
-We won’t ask for money.
-We won’t try to get you to believe what we believe.
-We will use BETWEEN’s 4 Community -Agreements to guide us.
-We will welcome you no matter what your experience with faith/spirituality/religion has been in the past.
-We aren't trying to recruit you into a religion or a church or anything.
-We just care about creating moments of sacred human connection while we're together... and encouraging you to create more moments of sacred human connection in your life.
We want to gather people so that we can spend time together and explore faith together… each in our own way. We want to invite people of faith, people of doubt, people who pray all the time, people who don’t pray, people who go to “church” or “temple” (or whatever) every week, and people who have been hurt by organized religion… We want to remind everyone that the most sacred place on earth is the space between us, if we choose to see it that way.
This is a local BETWEEN Group. You can get the whole BETWEEN experience by signing up here.
BETWEEN is a completely affirming and inclusive community full of love and celebration for all that you are 🏳️🌈. We affirm, celebrate, and honor every identity and background. All gender expressions, all races, all sexual identities, all religions, all abilities, all socioeconomic circumstances, all ages, all previous & current religious affiliations, all… people. We recognize and acknowledge the historical oppression of many peoples, and we actively seek to create a welcoming, encouraging, and empowering space for all in today’s modern world. All are welcome here. The only people not welcome are the people who don't welcome all.
The space BETWEEN us is sacred.

Curiosity & Uncertainty Are Transformational Spiritual Tools
Come share a cup of coffee and conversation that asks, “What’s something faith-y you’ve been wondering about lately?”This small group gathering is built for questions, not answers. We’ll practice staying present with each other’s wonderings — without fixing, debating, or solving. We'll swim in spiritual uncertainty together.

MORE ABOUT BETWEEN
BETWEEN is on a mission to build a global community of sacred human connection to heal our lonely, disconnected, divided world... one sacred conversation at a time. This is a local event open to anyone, and BETWEEN is a global community. Watch this to learn more about BETWEEN.WHAT'S THE POINT OF THIS?
Everything we do at BETWEEN is meant to inspire you to go out into your everyday life and create more moments of sacred human connection in your life. We want to help heal a lonely, disconnected, divided world, one sacred conversation at a time. We believe the love-filled faith and spiritual traditions have so much to teach us about how to be with each other, how to connect with each other, and how to care for each other.WHAT DOES BETWEEN BELIEVE?
We are not bound by definitions of particular religious traditions or specific denominations. We are inspired by the diversity of world religions, and we are respectful of the unique manifestations of belief in every person we encounter. Our background is rooted in and surrounded by progressive Protestant Christian American environments and values, and we are aware of that perspective in our work. We seek to learn and to create a community of learners. Learn more about our beliefs here.OTHER STUFF
