Confessional Community Update

Thank you for your interest in Confessional Communties with the Center for Being Known. We are excited about the recent increase in interest. We have over 400 people interested in the next cohort of groups.

We are trying to meet the need for more Confessional Communities and do this well. We are learning what it will take to support groups on a larger scale. We have increased staff members in recent months in order to improve our communication, planning and the other details that make these groups successful.

Currently, we are recruiting leaders from prior cohorts. At this time we are projecting that the groups will be assembled this fall and will aim to begin meeting in January 2024. Groups typically run for six months. Most of these groups will meet virtually through Zoom. There may be some in person groups if the logistics are feasible.

As Cohort 2 wrapped up this summer, participants shared beautiful feedback regarding their experiences. We heard over and over again about the transformative power of these communities. We look forward to hearing stories from the next cohort of groups.

Season 7 on the Being Known Podcast is an excellent resource to answer many questions about Confessional Communities. Confessional communities have the potential to form us into truer versions of ourselves, precisely because we are not doing it alone, but in the context of a community whose center is Jesus. This transformation is empowered by the work of the Spirit—who is taking advantage of our willingness to vulnerably open our lives to each other - Being Known Podcast
