Find Your People & Get Involved

Our programs are designed to inspire, educate, and build community. Through a range of community groups, series, and events, we create opportunities for connection, learning, and joy. Each offering is enriched by your participation and reflects our shared commitment to love and justice. Our groups vary in size, meeting structure, and location, but they all foster deep connection and a collective desire to build, organize, and sustain a world where everyone belongs.

Community Norms

We are committed to these norms within Middle Church’s community and spaces we hold together:

Learn more
  • We listen to understand until the speaker has finished and we do not interrupt

  • We ask clarifying questions (I’m so glad you share that, do you mind if I ask you a clarifying question)

  • We do not cross-talk (Thank you for your perspective, here’s my point of view/take on that/I have a different thought VS I think you are wrong or I disagree or That is so stupid)

  • We speak for ourselves, not our cohort, our group, or anyone else

  • We use “I statements” as often as possible. (When I am interrupted, I feel frustrated and find it difficult to stay engaged VS You interrupt me and it makes me frustrated)

  • We keep confidentiality in our groups

  • We do not make triangles, we say what needs to be said to the person who needs to hear it.

  • We tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Lying is disrespectful and anti-community. We know there might be more than one truth in a system but we try to tell ours and own it.

  • We step up and step back to allow all voices to be heard.

  • Group participants in-person and online will adhere to demonstrating Revolutionary Love at all times. If a participant’s behavior is deemed inappropriate by the meeting host, they will be removed. Inappropriate behavior includes but is not limited to harassment, threats and bigotry of any kind. If you experience behavior that feels inappropriate, we invite you to remind the participant of this covenant and also message the host.

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.
