We love our city.
We love surprises.
Come along as we engage current culture with ancient faith.
We make space to think deeply, listen well, and talk honestly - across generations, neighborhoods, denominations, and backgrounds.
The goal isn’t always to agree. It’s to explore new ways of looking at the world and commend the beauty, goodness, and truth of a life rooted in historic Christian faith.
Here’s how you (yes, YOU!) can get involved:
Come to an event.
We value bodies in seats, in rooms, and in close contact. Call it off-line learning, if you will. It’s hard to dislike someone when there’s good decaf in your hand or a tasty snack in your mouth. Can civility, fun, and enlightenment happen in one room? Come and see….

Just like public radio or your favorite unused subscription service, we operate by the fuel of your recurring donations. And guess what. Donating at any level gets you one big fish of a perk: Bring a friend for free!
Sponsor our mission.
If you, your org, or your business can donate above $1,000 a year we’ll consider you one of our coveted Sponsors. This includes one-time donations, corporate sponsorships, and household contributions of $100/month or more.

Exploring faith, culture, and the space between.
We host public lectures and events that are warmly hospitable, intentionally civil, utterly human, and usually whimsical.
Our goal is to build bridges of communication with our neighbors, finding common ground in a world of polarization, noise, and shallow discourse.
We desire the common good of our city, its people, and whoever comes through our doors.
