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.

Ubuntu and the Image of God: Choosing to See Each Other As We Are - Register Here

Ubuntu is a South African philosophy that delineates how to live well together. Though not a biblical concept, Ubuntu emphasizes that everything we learn and experience in the world is through our relationships with other persons and offers a way of seeing ourselves and others that enriches a biblical worldview. This conversation will explore the belief of the inherent goodness of everyone and what it means for how we live with one another.
