BETWEEN Chapters.
Local groups. Sacred connections. A healed world.
A BETWEEN Chapter is a small, local group that meets regularly to explore faith, build real relationships, and take action to spread sacred human connection in their everyday lives.
BETWEEN is gathering and activating small groups of people — college students, neighbors, church communities, book clubs, residents in senior living communities, and anyone hungry for deeper connection — to help heal our lonely, disconnected, divided world one sacred moment of human connection at a time.
BETWEEN Chapters meet regularly to explore the intersection of faith (in all its unique and diverse expressions) and human connection (as a sacred, transformational force). These groups are safe spaces to show up authentically, listen deeply, grow spiritually, cultivate meaningful relationships, and actively work to fill your community with more sacred connection.

Wherever makes sense for the chapter. A coffee shop. A church basement. A college student union. A park. A video meeting. A library. A brewery. A village gathering space. A city square. Around a campfire. Wherever in the world you are, find a place that is conducive to a sacred conversation for your group.
-
Because our world is a lonely and disconnected place and it needs people like you — BETWEENERS — to create more moments of sacred human connection. The chapter’s gathering, itself, is an experience of sacred connection — but the point of the gathering is to send all who attend out into the world to spread sacred connection around their daily lives. We are called to heal our disconnected, divided world one sacred conversation at a time.

Currently we are starting our initial chapters. If you start a chapter today, you’ll be on the ground floor of what we’re building. In the future, we hope to be able to connect you with existing groups around the world.
Most BETWEEN Chapters discuss a recent message from BETWEEN as a conversation starter in their regular gatherings. Click the button below to explore recent essays and 5(ish)-minute videos your chapter might use as content to spark discussion in an upcoming BETWEEN Chapter gathering.
