Confessional Communities

Confessional Communities

Small groups that meet weekly to tell their stories more truly and become more fully known by God and one another.

Thank you for your interest in Confessional Communities with the Center for Being Known.

These community groups are designed to foster spiritual formation through the work of the Spirit that we assume is always present in the meeting space. The groups are facilitated by volunteers, who also participate. They are not designed to be therapeutic in nature, but transformational in the deepening of faith.

We presently offer one cohort of groups each year. Cohorts meet from January to June, once a week for 90 minutes, on Zoom. Weekly group times are offered at all times of the day and evening, on weekdays and weekends. Our cohorts are open to members of the Center for Being Known, and membership is required to take part.

While we try to bring in everyone who is interested, we are not always able to make room for everyone each year. We are grateful for your patience in the process.
