Every chance we get we want to flatten human hierarchies and share power, while still leading on behalf of the community of God who has called us.  So that means we want to lead by listening, both to God’s Spirit and to you.  You are an important part of leading this community.  Let us hear you.

I love the way the leadership of Church of the Beloved  create space for people to actively participate in worship and in prayer. In a sea of concert-type services, COTB is like finding a “soulmate community” for someone who wants to actively engage in worship, prayer, and communion.  – Amy Weis
