• We engage a sacramental/liturgical imagination for formation and witness.

What sets the Telos Collective apart in the evangelical and mainline world is our ability to create compelling environments [link to events page?]—shaped around a particular worldview [link to Worldview page] and philosophy of ministry [link to philosophy of ministry page]—that provide a rare safe space that facilitates leaders thinking outside the box within a group of faithful peers.
