Churches and Nonprofits are facing a severe financial crisis, with the majority struggling to stay afloat and some facing closure due to federal funding cuts, inflation, declining attendance, shrinking donations, and rising costs. There is HOPE as we connect churches and non-profits with financial institutions that provide loans that aligns with their missions!
Rooted in Justice: Youth Ministry Cohort Intensive
Date: May 4, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Location: Second Church in Dorchester | 44 Moultrie St. Dorchester, MA 02124
About the Event
UniteBoston is partnering with Arrabon for Rooted in Justice, a one-day workshop intensive designed for those who walk closely with teenagers ages 13–17. This training is for youth pastors, ministry leaders, mentors, parents, and caregivers who are navigating the complexities of forming faith in a world shaped by trauma, division, and deep questions about justice, belonging, and hope.
This immersive day invites participants into a space of formation, not just information. Through trauma-informed learning, shared practices, and honest dialogue with others across diverse contexts, you’ll grow in active listening, empathy, courage, and a vision for justice-shaped discipleship that meets young people where they truly are.
Participants will receive access to the Cultivating Kinship curriculum, a six-week spiritual formation resource equipping Christ-followers to engage hard conversations with compassionate curiosity, embodied faith, and hope. This intensive also serves as an entry point into the larger Rooted in Justice cohort journey, including opportunities for continued formation and a potential immersion experience in Montgomery, Alabama.
Come ready to be equipped, challenged, and rooted more deeply in walking with the next generation to follow Jesus.
We’re able to offer this event for FREE – please REGISTER HERE and help to spread the word!
Vulnerability & Cruciformity: A Resurrection Retreat
We live in a hurried, polarized, and fearful time. Our natural instinct is to react with hardness, protection, and isolation. Yet, both modern psychology and sound Christian theology beckon us to do the opposite: live life with arms wide open. As Brené Brown would say, “Live vulnerably.” Let your life be cruciform: taking the very shape of Jesus’ own life and even his cross and resurrection.
Join Dr. Elizabeth Woodard, Ph.D., Catholic theologian and spiritual director, for a post-Easter Day Apart retreat that will focus on how to live with open hearts during a time such as this. We will investigate vulnerability as it is presented in the work of psychological researcher Dr. Brene Brown, and we will investigate cruciformity as it is presented in the Christian theological tradition. These two, very different scholastic approaches seem to call us to quite similar ends.

Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
We live in a time when antisemitism is ascendant in the United States and throughout the world. This dovetails with the rise of other forms of bigotry and hate, making our society less safe for various marginalized groups. It is vital, therefore, that our religious communities stand against antisemitism and other forms of oppression.
The Newton Interfaith Leaders Association and The Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership of Hebrew College present a new opportunity for learning and fellowship for teams of Christian clergy, youth leaders, and lay leaders.
Over the course of the spring, we will come together for three workshops on the dynamics of modern American antisemitism and intersecting forms of prejudice.
Fellows will receive seed funding for related projects in their communities of worship and/or in partnership with other area congregations/organizations.
We invite you to join us as a key partner in this crucial work in our community.
