The Iona Collaborative believes small congregations have much to teach the wider Church about God’s vision for its future flourishing. Small communities are ideal laboratories for learning together how to discern shared callings, ways of being in community, and best practices for engaging cooperatively in God’s ongoing mission in our rapidly changing culture. Our program works with vestries and clergy to use a toolkit of communal spiritual practices and exercises to discern a faithful and hopeful path forward that is unique to your community.

We support congregations individually while creating a larger learning community of bi-vocational congregations who learn from and co-create with each other.
