Common Thread Church

IF YOU ARE HERE, YOU BELONG
Like many, we found organized religion empty. So, rather than abandon it, we began to rethink, strip down, and rebuild it. We’ve become deeply grounded in the universal essence we found—the thread of Divine Life common to all of us. WE WILL INVITE YOU TO BELONG. It doesn’t matter where you are on the spiritual journey—new and eager, or worn out by religion. Your political leanings don’t matter either. Or whether you’re straight or gay. None of that matters to us. We’ll invite you to belong—right along with everybody else. WE’LL INVITE YOU TO FORM SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIPS. Friendships aren’t something that can be manufactured. Like trees or flowers, they grow their own way, on their own timetable. So what we do, is create lots of spaces where that natural process can happen, spaces you can belong, connect, and hopefully build spiritual friendships. If you like staying anonymous, that’s okay with us. If you want to connect socially, we have places for that. If you want to be more intentional in connecting, we’ll invite you into a group. Our groups focus on some aspect of the spiritual journey. Some meditate together. Others learn together. We study the enneagram and talk about how it informs our lives. Some groups last all year. Others for just a few weeks. The bottom line is this: you are welcome here. We really mean that. WE’LL INVITE YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR INNER LIFE. Access to the Inner Divine is the center of the spiritual life. We organize our community, to encourage one another in the ancient practices, that awaken us to that interior spirituality. At Common Thread dogma isn’t that big a deal. What is big, is being on the journey together, and encouraging one another in the practices that invite firsthand encounter with the Divine. We don’t give much attention to making sure people believe the right stuff. Much more important is that we support one another on a life-long quest to awaken to the Inner Voice, the Indwelling Spirit.
