About the event
Weird Church, Beloved Community? Where Holy Misfits Belong
A 2-Hour Interactive Workshop for the Brave, the Curious, and the Slightly Unconventional.
Tired of trying to fit 21st-century faith into a 19th-century box? Wondering if God might actually show up at a dinner table, coffee shop, or Zoom call instead of a pew? Feeling called to experience something weird but deeply meaningful?
Good news: Being weird is holy. And building a Beloved Community isn’t just for dreamers- it’s for doers like you.
In this workshop, we’ll:
Celebrate why “weird” might just invigorate a spiritual community
Explore how radical love beats rigid tradition
Discover wildly imaginative faith communities (yes, YOUR ideas!)
Laugh, reflect, and maybe even plot a little holy mischief
Warning: Side effects may include sudden bursts of creativity, uncontrollable visioning, and a desire to ditch "we've-always-done-it-this-way" thinking.
If you're ready to trade normal for meaningful, and institutional for inspirational, this workshop might be your playground.
Because the future of church? It’s weird. It’s beloved. And it’s waiting for you.
Please print this handout and bring it with you on Sunday.
Reserve your spot—because sacred shouldn’t be boring.
