LIBERAL FAITH COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT
We help progressive communities thrive so they can achieve their missions
Sunstone Chapel compassionately serves liberal faith communities by helping them thrive. Through speaking, signature adult faith development workshops, Sunstone Chapel in Residence, and our new Thrive UU Fellowship (launching Winter 2025) collective for very small faith communities, we help you learn and apply strategies to adapt within the changing landscape from religious to spiritual.
We support you in mitigating and thriving against the trend of declining church membership and decreasing confidence in organized religion. Our services are not for everyone. We and those we serve best are future oriented perpetual learners who are open-minded and excited about innovative solutions and new ways of being.
Some words of wisdom we embrace are:
“You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”
— Albert Einstein
“Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.”
— Bruce Lee
“If you want to learn to swim, jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.”
— Bruce Lee
“We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”
— Oprah Winfrey
We Value:
-
Interdependence and affirm that we are stronger together.
-
Transformation and are open to change, innovation, and growing together.
-
Generosity through our community of communities, share resources, cultivate gratitude, and practice active hope in the missions and visions of our faith communities.

QUARTERLY VIRTUAL DINNER CHAPEL
Virtually connect during our spiritual nourishment dinners.
Let's cultivate community and belonging through intentional reflection, together. Our virtual dinner chapels are informal and open to all seeking space for deep connection with others. Topics center on how to faithfully flourish through self-care, leadership development, and congregational health (faith-based organizational development). Come as you are. Depart feeling nourished, supported, and with ‘food for thought and spirit’ so that you can live your values out loud and do your part to make the world a better place.
