Reimagine Church in the Neighborhood: Stories, lunch, and practical connection for neighborhood-rooted faith

What does it look like to be good news right where you live?

If you’ve ever wondered—or if you’re already living it out in big or small ways—you’re not alone.

Join Parish Collective for a gathering of neighbors, stories, and encouragement. We’re a network of people and communities committed to being the Church in the everyday life of our neighborhoods. Whether you’re a longtime practitioner, brand new to this conversation, or somewhere in between, this gathering is for anyone who believes their neighborhood matters.

What to expect:

✔️ Stories of hope from neighborhoods across South Sound and beyond

✔️ A shared lunch with local friends and neighbors

✔️ A word of encouragement from Parish Collective co-founder Tim Soerens

✔️ New connections with others who care about their place

✔️ Practical ideas for joining in with what God is already doing where you live

Come connect with kindred spirits, be refreshed, and leave with fresh imagination for your neighborhood.

Everyone is welcome—bring a friend, a neighbor, or your whole crew!
