Faith250 – a non-partisan, multi-faith, nationwide initiative with a local Chapel Hill area cluster – will be bringing together people from across our diverse faith communities for conversation and connection. We are exploring what it looks like to build civic life together across difference.

This is one in a series of community study gatherings on democracy in America this spring, and a public celebration leading up to July 4, 2026.

Please click here to register to let us know you’re coming or to register for a similar small group gathering at a different location and time.

Our spring study series will run from late April through early June, exploring:

Emma Lazarus’ “The New Colossus”

The Declaration of Independence

“America the Beautiful”

Frederick Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”

The season will culminate in a public civic ritual connected to Juneteenth and the lead-up to July 4, 2026 –  a gathering designed to celebrate freedom, invite honest reflection, and renew our shared commitment to the common good.

Faith250 is explicitly nonpartisan. All are welcome.
