A progressive community rooted in faith, justice, healing, and radical love
Welcome to The Way Forward. We’re grateful you’re here.
We are a welcoming and inclusive community where people from all backgrounds and beliefs come together to explore faith and the world around us, build meaningful relationships, and support one another through life's joys and challenges.
We strive to create a space where every person is valued, every voice matters, and everyone feels like they belong. Together, we seek to heal, grow, and embody the love and justice we want to see in the world.
Here, you're welcome exactly as you are, without any expectation to become someone you're not, or to contribute more than you're ready to give.
We gather virtually twice a month to connect, learn, and grow together. For those who feel called to take on a more active role, we also offer opportunities to put our faith and values into action through initiatives focused on community care, education, advocacy, and bridging divides.
We also partner with other communities and organizations to advance shared goals and expand our collective impact. To learn more about our initiatives and opportunities to collaborate, visit our Faith in Action page.
