God invites everyone into sacred work.
We believe that every single person is called into service in some way.
Our practices are rooted in the traditions of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). We strive to celebrate, uplift, and nurture ministry among us all, recognizing that each of us may be called to serve in various ways at different times.
At Three Rivers, some folks feel particularly and consistently called into the work of facilitating worship, teaching, and providing connection, continuity, and care. We call these folks our “Hosts.” They regularly give time, energy, and prayer to help to make the space welcoming and invite us all into connection with others, with Creation, and with the Divine. If you feel like you also want to be a part of taking long-term responsibility for stewarding the health of Three Rivers, be sure to let one of these folks know.
