1001 New Worshiping Communities

With gratitude for Bethany’s witness and love, we celebrate the ministry of Our Tapestry, an online NWC of Denver Presbytery.

When Church is Dangerous, Digital Ministry Provides Sanctuary "When we thunderously proclaim acceptance, healing is possible for our LGBTQIA+ siblings." writes Rev Bethany Peerbolte, leader of Our Tapestry.

More good news from the Wild Goose Festival!
An article about the 1001 Wild Goose Community and its role in offering a space of inclusion and hospitality in Appalachia.

Appalachia’s song is a hymn, not an elegy Appalachia has long captured the imaginations of missionaries and politicians in the history of the United States.

Great article about our time at the Goose!

In the midst of tremendous change throughout the church, a vibrant future is unfolding. God is calling us into new postures and practices, and they are already impacting the church and individual lives.

Dedicated to amplifying the voices, learnings, and experience of PCUSA’s thriving, up and coming immigrant church, the Accents will be leading us in a tested series of generative conversations about being the PCUSA church in this moment and about being faithful, effective, and rooted right now.

Come and be among the denomination’s finest emerging leaders as we discern ways forward together and feed our souls.
