Sacred Self, Sacred Community

An Online Pilgrimage of Discovery, Belonging, and Becoming.

January 9 - May 15, 2027

There are seasons of life when you long for more—more authenticity, deeper relationships, a fuller faith, and a greater sense of purpose. There are also seasons when you realize you weren't meant to seek "the more" alone. If this resonates with you, we hope you will take a journey to help you discover, belong, and become.

Discover

Discover your life as a unique journey to wholeness. Begin the journey by reflecting on your self-esteem and self-acceptance to help you live into the lifelong journey of loving God, yourself, and your neighbor (Mark 12:30–31). Learn to recognize God's grace in ordinary moments for a new perspective on your everyday life.

Belong

Find out what happens when a group of people intentionally commits for five months to walking alongside one another in discovering who God created each person to be. As we learn how to listen to one another with agreements that encourage presence, non-judgment, and love, we experience community as a safe place to grow in faith. We experience the beauty of belonging when we find out we are not alone dealing with the joys and challenges of life.

Become

Explore how your life has shaped you and how God continues to invite you into deeper self-acceptance, authenticity, and wholeness. Reflect on the values you have when it comes to friendships and community. Recognize what kinds of choices you want to make that will help you come to know, in a renewing way, the wonder of your own sacred self as become more fully who God creates you to be.
