Our Vision

At Leaven Community, we ignite the power of relationships in our shared stories and spiritual wisdoms by acting collectively with our neighbors for more equitable, diverse, thriving neighborhoods.

We trust in the sacred interconnection of all and the creative and liberative power within these relationships. Recognizing our complicity in racist systems that oppress, harm and steal life, we commit to transforming ourselves and to taking actions that resist, disrupt, and heal these broken systems. All life depends on it.

What We Do

We organize Leaven members and our neighbors to share our stories, make meaning of our collective stories, and respond out of our spiritual wisdoms and shared stores to take social action for the common good.

We interact with varying spiritual paths and experiences, making meaning together through story, discernment and ritual.

We provide organizing education around the arts and practices of relationship-based community organizing.

Leaven is also a home for the ELCA congregation, Salt and Light Lutheran Church, and supports them in living out their values and faith in public life through organizing for the common good.

Become a Member
