Finding sacred everywhere. Especially in the space between us.
Jesus said, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20 NIV)
At BETWEEN, we invite you to engage with your faith in whatever way fills your soul. No requirements. No asking for your money. No proselytizing. Seriously. Bring YOUR FAITH (and curiosity) to the conversation and engage as much or as little as makes sense to you.

A New Kind of Faith Community
We dream of inspiring millions of people to live as though God is always right in the middle of our conversations and interactions. We’re all invited to create holy spaces anywhere. In every moment of human connection we can worship. Our everyday conversations should become cathedrals of connection. Our family dinners, coffee shop chats, and small talk in line at the grocery store become opportunities to commune with each other and with the power of the universe.
Our world is far too lonely, far too disconnected. We want to help you be the people who reconnect the world. BETWEEN helps thousands of people all over the world become really good at human connection by infusing your interactions with spiritual energy.
BETWEEN is simple. Sign up for our email list. Receive weekly and daily inspiration about how to infuse every interaction with a divine light. Then you go out into the world and create “church” in every interaction (and we don’t mean you evangelize and only talk about faith stuff — we just want you to treat every conversation as truly sacred).
Oh, and take what you need. You can simply consume our content, you can participate in community events, or you can co-create BETWEEN with us. No matter what, you belong here and we are with you.

Our Vision…
Ten years from now, BETWEEN has evolved into a global beacon of sacred human connection. An inclusive faith-based movement. A new model for the future of church. What started as a humble initiative has blossomed into a movement that transcends borders, cultures, and creeds. Our vision is rooted in the belief that the most sacred space on earth is the space between people. (Read more of our 10 Year Vision below)
-
We've expanded our community to include millions of people worldwide. Those people, actively creating sacred moments of human connection in their everyday lives, are our most important work. Through our multi-pronged online platform, people from diverse backgrounds gather (online and in-person) to find belonging, inspiration, and shared purpose. They share stories together, foster empathy together, and cultivate meaningful borderless relationships.
-
Our local groups, established in cities, towns, and villages across the globe, serve as hubs for sacred connection. These highly inclusive, ecumenical and interfaith group host regular gatherings, workshops, and events that promote connection, understanding, and compassion within communities. They actively serve locally and globally in ways that are directly aligned with BETWEEN’s focus on sacred human connection — delivering the daily bread of conversation, relationships, care, and belonging.
-
BETWEEN organizes and hosts major events that bring together thousands of people from around the world. These events serve as catalysts for deep conversations, spiritual growth, and collective action. Through inspiring keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and immersive experiences, participants are empowered to build bridges and forge lasting connections.
-
Everyone thinking, working, writing, creating, and innovating at the intersection of faith and human connection finds a central home at BETWEEN. We selflessly gather, support, and uplift the creators, authors, artists, and voices who help us reimagine our sacred connections with each other.
-
We're actively involved in advocacy efforts, championing causes aligned specifically with our mission. Our advocacy and outreach efforts promote social justice, equality, and human rights — with a dedicated focus on our mission of sacred human connection. Our outreach initiatives support marginalized communities, providing resources and support to those in need.
-
We will not ask for money from the people we serve. We know it costs money to do good work, but we will think entrepreneurially to fund our work in creative ways. We will seek grant funding, we will seek sponsorships from organizations and businesses, we will sell advertising, we will leverage merchandising and valuable products, we will seek partnerships, and we will hold events. Part of creating a new model for the modern faith community is a commitment to reimagining the economics away from a tithe-based model.
-
BETWEEN will cross religious and denominational barriers. Teaching about and learning from a wide array of spiritual traditions.
BETWEEN will provide an identity for sacred connection apostles, and will become a borderless tribe of hope-givers.
BETWEEN's focus isn't on internal support for its members; rather, it's about outward connections. We are a global faith circle facing outward toward others. Each sacred connection forged with others is our ultimate reward.
BETWEEN will reimagine faith community for a modern age. We are on the front lines of the resurrection of the “church.”
