Rebuilding Spiritual Community: A How-To Guide
Reimagining something that doesn't exist yet...
It’s pretty exciting work. Also, pretty isolating.
We get to create a future that isn’t here yet. Great! But we have to do it without plans to follow, guides, or guidelines. That’s tough!
This course could help you. It isn’t a cookie-cutter approach. It’s a set of foundational principles I learned along the way that I think could help you create your healthy spiritual community.
Don’t go it alone! What you’re doing is important! Let’s help each other succeed.

About Me
I’m an offbeat minister who led a non-traditional church for 30 years.
My first ministry gig was a megachurch college minister in LA. Way back then I realized church wasn’t working. I started asking hard questions—that got me invited to be a minister somewhere else (somewhere faraway). I came to Raleigh to start Common Thread—a laboratory to figure out how healthy spiritual community could work. After working on it for 30 years, I learned a lot.
