Bible in the middle

Where Scripture Meets Love, Justice, and Community

Bible in the Middle is a weekly gathering at Middle Church where participants explore scripture through the lens of “Love. Period.” This isn’t your traditional Bible study. It’s a space where questions are welcomed, doubts are honored, and every voice matters. Led by clergy, lay leaders, and guest facilitators, the group seeks to unpack biblical texts with honesty, curiosity, and a focus on justice, liberation, and fierce love.

Through open dialogue and thoughtful interpretation, participants examine how scripture can inspire action, challenge injustice, and deepen their faith journeys. The goal isn’t just to “know the Bible” — it’s to live it in ways that transform communities and heal the world.

Why Join?
Because the Bible is a living, breathing text that speaks to the world we live in today. In Bible in the Middle, you’ll be part of a community that doesn’t shy away from hard questions but faces them together with love and courage.

We believe in the power of Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
