Faith250 invites faith leaders and communities across the country to form clusters of congregations to act as sacred spaces for listening to one another, clarifying our shared civic values, and celebrating our hopes for America. The approach is to work in three components: (1) clergy relationship-building through small group study of some of America’s sacred texts: “The Declaration of Independence,” Emma Lazarus’s “The New Colossus,” “America the Beautiful,” and Frederick Douglass’s address, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”’; (2) multi-congregation fellowship by breaking bread and discussing these same texts in larger clergy-led gatherings; and (3) public civic rituals designed by each local community, flooding the zone with hope around July 4th next summer.

On January 26, 2026, the Chapel Hill-Pittsboro Cluster will gather in UBC’s Great Hall at 4pm.
