Mass Inter-Faith Protest

On July 24th, Benjamin Netanyahu plans to address Congress and defend what he terms a “just war.” However, the reality of his actions tells a different story—one that includes the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Gaza and numerous other atrocities.

We invite you to join us in Washington, D.C. on July 24th, where we will join thousands across the nation to protest Netanyahu’s address to congress, as a faith contingent.

Transportation from The Riverside Church and First Presbyterian Church Brooklyn will be provided for all who wish to participate. Departure time for buses is 6:00 AM. Kindly wear RED attire.

Reach out to Rev. Amanda to let her know you’re interested in attending.

We believe in the power of love. Period.

Need Care?

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

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.

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.
