Parish Collective is about connecting and resourcing the people of faith in particular neighborhoods to be the church in the place they live. We work at a grassroots level to root together Neighborhood Churches, Missional Communities, and Faith-Based Orgs in their parish. Then we link them to other parishes regionally and globally for mutual support and innovation.
The Parish Collective mission is to catalyze, connect, and resource networks of locally rooted Christian Churches and groups that are dedicated to caring for their neighbors and living in ways which create sustainable, flourishing local places. Our platforms and services are designed to facilitate the development of these networks, to synthesize and communicate meaningful ideas, practices, and stories, and to support the larger movement of returning to the local parish.
There is a tectonic shift happening under the surface of the church in North America. Parishioners are returning to the parish. The greater our individual mobility extends, the greater the world’s longing and need for a faith that can be lived out collectively – where we can be present… where there is an embodied practice… where the gospel becomes tangible in a particular place. Parish Collective invites you to explore this growing movement and find friends, resources, and encouraging stories for the return to place.
