Community without walls

Sacramental life in ordinary places.

The Common Rule calls us to a merciful heart: prayer, study, work, table, and service woven into the streets where life actually happens.

What this is

A local cell of the Coworkers of Christ

We are rooted in generous orthodoxy, the seven sacraments, new monastic practice, and a community-based way of living the Gospel together.

  • Jesus is our example. The Gospel is our Rule. Love is our Law.
  • Prayer, contemplation, study, and work belong together.
  • Local communities are the foundation of mercy and mission.
Field note

The first step may be as simple as a table, a cup, a prayer, and enough trust to begin discerning the Rule together.

Our charism

A merciful heart for a broken world

The Coworkers of Christ exist to make God’s love known through sacramental worship, spiritual formation, works of mercy, and common life that blesses the world.

Jesus is our example. The Gospel is our Rule. Love is our Law.

Public worship

Mass and church services are open to the public.

Alongside the local cell rhythm of table, formation, and works of mercy, we gather publicly for sacramental worship, prayer, Scripture, preaching, and the Holy Eucharist.

Public Mass and prayer services are offered as scheduled. Reach out for the current time and location.

01

Sacramental worship

Rooted in the historic Christian tradition, centered in prayer, Word, and Table.

02

Public and welcoming

Visitors, seekers, friends, and neighbors are welcome to attend without pressure.

03

Human pace

If you are unsure about anything, come anyway. Ask questions. Receive a blessing. Breathe.

How it works

Begin as a friend. Discern the Rule.

We are forming a local cell of prayer, table, study, and service. You can begin gently: a conversation, a prayer request, a gathering, and time to discern whether this rhythm is yours.

1

Reach out

Tell us what you are seeking: prayer, community, sacramental life, service, or a place to discern.

2

Share a conversation

No pitch. We listen, answer questions, and talk about the Common Rule and the local rhythm.

3

Enter the rhythm

Step into prayer, formation, table life, and works of mercy at a human pace.

What happens next

Discernment without pressure.

The Rule is freely embraced, never forced. We make space for questions, prayer, conversation, and the slow work of trust.

01

You reach out

Use the form or send a simple first hello. You can be brief, uncertain, curious, or all three.

02

We answer with care

No public spotlight. Just a grounded reply, a prayerful next step, and room to breathe.

03

You move at human speed

Coffee, a small gathering, a conversation, or time to think. The Rule is discerned, not imposed.
