Creating Beloved Community with and for athletes.
a new kind of Christian athlete
BELONG
We believe that the image of God dwells in every person. Each of us deserve dignity, respect, and loving community - especially LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folx. Through our monthly Virtual Circle gathering and online resources, we prioritize fostering a sacred community of authenticity & belonging.
GROW
We seek to grow in our faith lives in exploring, wrestling, challenging, and being challenged by Scripture. And we seek to grow in community by honoring, listening to, and being transformed by one another’s stories and experiences.
PRAY
We seek to curate liturgy that comforts, strengthens, challenges, and calls us deeper into God’s justice and mercy. We believe intentionality and mindfulness open up the potential for ordinary practices to become our prayer life.
ACT
We seek to be participants in the transformation of our society that ushers the kingdom of God— the vision of a world where justice, equity, and reconciliation is made a reality. We believe in the flourishing of all people, and so we show up how and where we can, as we seek to be a blessing to each other.
“When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them."
— The Rev. Pauli Murray

We all have our stories as to how we got here. Perhaps you’re a spiritual wanderer looking for a home, or perhaps you were rejected from your religious community for simply being yourself. Whatever your story is, we welcome you and are glad you’re here. Let us know who you are so we can meet and welcome you into our community!
