The Good Neighbor Project

Love God. Love your neighbor.

About Us

The Good Neighbor Project was founded in 2023 after seeing and experiencing the rise of deconstruction, division, and disillusionment in our communities in recent years. We believe there’s a way forward that is found in responding to the call to love God and our neighbors. We are convinced it is possible to renew and transform our communities (and our own lives!) by following the way of Jesus - to restore hope and flourishing by practicing hospitality, compassion, and justice with our neighbors, and pursuing the peace and prosperity of all people and places.

We’re having conversations you probably aren’t having in church. We’re taking a deep dive into what it really means to follow the way of Jesus and seek the good of our neighbors in our present place and context. Our programs invite people into spaces where they can deepen their experience, understanding, and practice of loving God and their neighbors.

  • “The GNP is one of the most meaningful parts of my Lancaster community. This is a place where you will find rich discussions, intimacy, and vulnerability. The small group nature of it makes the atmosphere very personal and comfortable to share and open up. The speakers were diverse, thoughtful and very engaging. The environment cultivates self exploration as well as connection. The GNP helps me to think about how to live out my faith in a more connected and grounded way. Plus the pastries are to die for!”

  • “I love this ministry. My faith has been challenged and I can already see evidences of the Spirit’s work in my life through the lessons I’ve learned in the workshops.”

  • “[The workshops have been] so thought provoking. So life giving. It helped me press into how I live my Christian life rooted in the world and how I want to do that more.”

  • “The workshops have been a great place to learn, eat delicious food, connect with others, ask questions, and learn about more resources to deepen my understanding of the integration of my faith with my daily life... I’ve been encouraged to want to know others better and show love to them more genuinely.”
