Creating Beloved Community is a faith formation series that invites us into the sacred work of building authentic relationships with our neighbors. Rooted in the belief that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of dignity, love, and belonging, this series will explore what it means to live faithfully in community with people from diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences.

Each month we will focus on a specific community, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, people of different races and cultures, and those living with food insecurity or economic disparity. Through forums, discussion, spiritual practices, and community engagement, we will deepen our understanding of both the unique experiences of each group and the shared humanity that connects us all.

Creating Beloved Community will encourage us to honor diversity as a gift while cultivating compassion, humility, justice, and mutual care. Together, we will explore how faith calls us beyond fear and division into relationships rooted in empathy, solidarity, and belovedness, creating communities where all people are valued, loved, and belong.
