Middle circle community sits between your inner circle (family & close friends) and your outer circle (barista at your local coffee shop, the person you run into occasionally at the gym, or people you meet at a fun event). Middle Circles are intended to be communities that foster belonging, hold common connections, and a develop a shared identity. 

ABOUT PAGE

Middle Circle is an emerging church-like community. Many of us identify as the spiritual but not religious type, some are spiritual and religious, and some of us might say we are neither spiritual nor religious. Our community is bonded through shared values rather than beliefs or dogma. We believe in kindness, honesty, love, service, compassion and building an inclusive community where we can be vulnerable and know that we will be accepted for who we are.
