SPIRITUAL LIFE
AFTER CHURCH

Are you post-evangelical but still crave a sense of spirituality and community? Are you tired of deconstructing and now are looking for a place to simply rebuild with what you now know to be true? Are you searching for new ways to express and live out a different kind of spirituality? Us too. 

Many of us were raised in religious environments where we learned to trust only what was outside of us – the Bible, our pastors or leaders, purity culture and standards, or dictated rules. We were taught to ignore our inner compass, that the heart is “deceitfully wicked,” and that we cannot trust our own desires, thoughts, or opinions.

At some point, many of us realized this wasn’t working and we left those religious institutions behind in search of a different kind of life. We still wanted to connect with the Big Good beyond us, but we instinctively knew moral codes weren’t the way.

At any point in that journey, it can be easy to get stuck in what we *don’t* want to be like and it can feel daunting as we attempt to create new rituals, habits, communities, and expressions of our own spiritual lives – especially as we try it alone.

We hope this experimental group will be a safe space to explore these ideas within community. You are not alone. We will hold space for each other as we pioneer new expressions of spiritual life based on lived experience and what resonates for each of us. We hope to honor our inner authorities and lean into fresh, lifegiving practices and connections. Will you join us?
