Experience the true good life.

Lean into CONNECTION.

We are not meant to follow Jesus alone but are formed in relationship as part of the body of Christ, where we belong to one another in purposeful community. 

Turn belief into PRACTICE.

The Holy Spirit works in us as we practice disciplines of grace to transform us into the image of Christ and push us outwards to live generously with all that we are and have out of God’s abundant love.

Participate in God’s STORY.

An embodied faith lives out God’s redemptive story by bringing hope and healing to our neighbors, demonstrating the love of God by meeting needs and seeking the common good.

The Fellowship is an 8-month immersive experience providing an orientation for living that will form you into the image of Christ and compel you outwards to love your neighbors.

See what others have to say about The Fellowship

  • "I never thought I’d run a 5K or want a house on a bus route to do "guerilla infrastructure"! GNP challenged how I think about where and how faith is lived.”

    Joyanna Wakeman

  • "I love that GNP is dedicated to the long, slow work of discipleship and does not attempt to offer a quick and definitive crash course in community engagement. I picture the Good Neighbor Project as a greenhouse, giving us all a dedicated space to start sprouting the seeds that had been planted in us even before the program, in an environment to foster and nourish these seeds, so that we can grow into sprouts and seedlings who, by the time the program is over, are ready to be planted and grow strong in our own larger environments.”

    Laura DiGioia

  • "The Good Neighbor Project was more than an intellectual experiment — it was a call to action in the actual physical space we embody, here in Lancaster County. There is a depth to the program that takes seriously the spiritual and practical tensions of adulthood. The Fellowship provided just enough structure to guide us, but was flexible enough for real life."

    Timothy Stow

  • "The teaching at GNP is rich, but what has stayed with me most are the shared meals and conversations that followed. I’ve learned to slow down, to be present with people, and to take hospitality seriously as a spiritual practice."

    Vivi Fesier

  • "When many young adults can tend to be aimless, Good Neighbor Project brings together a group of young people seeking to be equipped to grow in maturity in every aspect of our lives."
