Pre-Election Prayer Vigil

With the election just two days away, we know that the results will spark a wide range of emotions in our community. No matter how each of us votes—up and down ticket—we know there is so much at stake, including our own peace of mind. To create a space for reflection, support, and unity, we are holding a pre-election vigil for everyone to come together in solidarity.

Bring your whole self—your fears, hopes, concerns, and dreams—and find support in community as we gather on the eve of a historic moment. We will hold each other in just love, period.

We believe in the power of love. Period.

Need Care?

You are not alone. Whatever you’re carrying, we will hold it with you.

Congregational Meeting – 11/10/2024

Two years ago, driven by our just love ethic, Middle Church’s board voted to disaffiliate with the Reformed Church in America and it’s anti-Queer theologies. Today, members will affirm that decision. Join us in the Meeting Room at Judson Church or online for a conversation and a vote.

The Just Love Bible by Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis

In a bold and inspiring new storybook Bible for children, Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis and Rev. Dr. Shannon Daley-Harris join a long line of sacred storytellers and question-askers. For thousands of years, people have told stories, sung songs, asked hard questions, and shared experiences to learn about God and how to live as God’s people. The big message of the Bible is that God loves us and created us to love God and each other, to do justice, and to love kindness. In The Just Love Story Bible, children and families are invited to open their imaginations, take hold of their belovedness, and understand that all people on earth deserve to be loved and to have dignity, equality, and justice.

December 5, 2020

A six-alarm fire spread from the building next door and destroyed our beautiful sanctuary. But no fire can stop revolutionary love! Learn how we’re rising from the ashes, and what you can do to help.

Find Your People!

Middle hosts small groups for everything from beginning ukulele lessons, to Queer Black Men in the Middle and our Voting Reform team. And all of them have options to gather virtually! Join the groups that best fit your passion, and the love you want to offer the world.

Liberative Learning

How do you change the world? First, you change yourself. Part of how we fulfill our commitment to God’s gospel of liberation is by training leaders with the skills you’ll need to bring freedom wherever you go. Thousands have participated in our digital courses. Will join them?

What We Believe

Middle is on a mission to reclaim and reframe Christianity—to realign our faith with Jesus’ teaching and take it back from the folks who have stolen it. We do this work joyfully, fueled by the Spirit, and strengthened by the community we create with one another.

Watch & Learn

Middle’s worship is a joyful, diverse celebration that gives a taste of what heaven feels like—an experience to soothe your soul and fill you with God’s liberatory fire! Every week is different, but what remains constant is how we tell the story of love through transformative art.

Do Justice

Faith comes alive when our love radiates outwards. At Middle, we’re committed to building an intersectional movement that both addresses the particular needs of different communities and unites us in common solidarity. This is God’s work, and we hope you’ll join us in it.
