Welcome to The Neighborhood

Christ, Community, Creativity

We are

a digital neighborhood made up of distinct buildings where creative communities gather privately. Together, we value Christ, Community, and Creativity (we also love conversation and collaboration). Join us for neighborhood-wide gatherings and special events in our Neighborhood Green.

Together, we turn social media's usual ways upside down.

You are invited

to enter The Neighborhood through one of our distinct community portals.

When you become a member of one of the communities within The Neighborhood, you can pursue relationships and join conversations in your own private community space, but we hope you also step outside into the Neighborhood Green for special neighborhood-wide events and cross-community conversations.

In The Neighborhood, we are curious, kind, eager to listen and be inspired. 

Our hope is that as we learn and grow together, this will be a community where you want to linger.

All are welcome

The Neighborhood is rooted in Christian faith, but all are welcome to join us in celebrating our shared identity as people who are wonderfully made and thus able to make wonderful things.
