Common Inspiration

 

Be in the next Cohort of Common Inspiration. 

Common Inspiration seeks to support new models of how the church can thrive outside of traditional church walls. We seek to learn from one another, support each other, and as a collective, find ways to become stronger and more attentive to the needs of our Christian community. We aspire to spark active dialogue at all levels within our communities, explore and discover new approaches for unity and through becoming uncomfortable, create enhanced models for demonstrating what are examples of Thriving Congregations. Through cohort-based learning, Common Inspiration creates divine space for congregations to journey inward to discover their way forward and to journey outward to experience the joy of being in community with other Christian communities.
