Spark Lab NYC: A Gathering to Ignite Stories of Faith and Justice

How do we tell stories of faith in a time of change, uncertainty, and new possibilities?

Join us for a gathering of spiritual seekers, storytellers, and community builders exploring how stories can nurture belonging, deepen justice, and open new pathways for faith. Together, we will cultivate practices of listening, reflection, and storytelling that honor the diverse ways people encounter the sacred in their lives.

Grounded in a multivocal approach to storytelling, this gathering takes seriously the four gospel endings as distinct invitations into the life of faith: Mark's trembling, Matthew's going, Luke's staying, and John's following. Rather than seeking a single narrative, we will explore how these different postures illuminate the many ways faith is lived, questioned, embodied, and shared.

This gathering is a collaboration between The Riverside Church and the Center for Faith and Justice, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds who are committed to cultivating stories that inspire courage, connection, and the common good.
