Better Together is a Christ-centered (centered-set) community — not defined by the edges, but by a shared pursuit of Jesus at the center.

In Threads: Weaving Unity, Diversity & Mission, leaders from diverse cultural, theological, and local contexts come together each month to share how unity is nurtured, diversity is celebrated, and mission is strengthened when our eyes stay fixed on Christ.

Each live, one-hour session adds another thread to the tapestry He is weaving — strong, beautiful, and connected. And on May 1-2, 2026, we’ll gather at our binational Convening to see the whole and dream forward together.
