It's time for a better story.  

The kind of story that has room for everyone and where every voice is heard. Around the kitchen table with close friends, Collective was imagined by stripping away all the assumptions about what Church needs to be and rebuilding around shared meals, honest conversations, and the belief that together is better.

We are a community from around the greater Milwaukee area who want to be part of writing a better more loving and inclusive story for our community and world.

Last weekend’s canoe trip was amazing. What adventure should we do next? #collectivemke #togetherisbetter
[Love], the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask. (House Church tomorrow at 9:30 at the Pitchford’s house!)
Good thoughts over lunch today - about having a good thing and helping others have access to that good thing, gender-neutral worship songs, and making space for folks who need to lay low in the background of church for one reason or another. ✨ #collectivemke #togetherisbetter
Good times at house church today. Our Waukesha “summer tour” has started. Check our last post for upcoming locations. #collectivemke #togetherisbetter #housechurch
Over the summer, our two Waukesha houses are combining and will be moving around from week to week. The full schedule and addresses are listed below and I have included a bookmark you can print and put on your fridge. Please take second to add them to your calendar now so you always know where to find the good food and a seat waiting for you.
Sure Dustin (and most of us) was deep in good thought during house church this morning, but I’m just here to point out the cuteness of the kid sitting in the box. Kind of how comfortable I feel at House Church, too. #collectivemke #togetherisbetter

House Church @ Klemowits'

Church is about being connected with other humans who care about you and your story.  That's is what our weekly house church meetings are about. At House Church, we pray + immerse ourselves in the Biblical story together. We always share about life and eat together. Expect to talk and laugh and grow together.

At House Church, sometimes we sing. Usually we pray and immerse ourselves in the Biblical story together. We always share about our life and eat brunch together. While we talk, and laugh, and grow together, our lives are becoming interconnected and beautiful.

House Church is about stripping away the program and flash to rediscover Church as shared meals, honest conversations, and being together. Expect to talk, laugh, and cry together. It's open to anyone who wants to come. Often first-time visitors are surprised by how quickly they are drawn in and engaged.

4TH MONDAY MEALS - GUEST HOUSE OF MILWAUKEE

CollectiveMKE helps feed the men on Guest House of Milwaukee on the fourth Monday of every month.  This endeavor requires donations of food and money, volunteers that are willing to help prepare the food to take to the shelter and volunteers to serve the meal on the actual day. They have a brand new industrial kitchen that makes serving easy and fun!
