About TNN
A network of place-based, church-adjacent organizations, learning together how congregations can take part in the thriving of their neighborhoods.
The Thriving Neighborhoods Network (TNN), incubated and convened by Parish Collective, connects place-based, church-adjacent organizations that equip and accompany congregations as they take part in the thriving of their neighborhoods.
Each of us plays an intermediary role between congregations and their neighborhoods, and this network functions to unearth and share years of mostly unnamed wisdom about this work.
Additionally, this network exists because we are convinced that the church has an important role to play in the thriving and mending of God’s creation and our organizations are uniquely positioned to support congregations in responding to this urgent and long-term call in their local communities.
Incubated and convened by Parish Collective
TNN is not a separate legal organization. Parish Collective incubates and convenes the network, providing coordination and shared infrastructure so participants can spend more of their time learning, collaborating, and putting ideas into practice.
