Dreaming of Doing Community Differently?
We believe that God is calling people from all backgrounds, ages, and cultures to do community differently. No two pioneers are the same, but they share a passion for connecting with new people and creating new Christian communities where others can encounter God’s love for the first time.
Could God be calling you to Pioneer a new community with the Methodist Church?

Conversations Against Mundanity
A game that defeats mundane small talk and helps people of all ages go deep and meaningful.
Dig a Little Deeper
At the Hope & Anchor, we love having conversations we might not usually have in everyday life. We call this Real Talk. During our time together at Boughton, we've explored a wide range of topics, always committed to learning, reflecting, and growing together in a safe and trusting environment. This year, we've included links to Methodist Church guidance on some of the subjects we discussed, should you wish to reflect further.
Sexuality and Relationships
This year the Hope & Anchor hosted a conversation reflecting on love and lust, The Methodist Church has resources to help you continue reflecting on this.

The Methodist Church is on a journey reflecting on our relationship with artificial intelligence. Read more about our learning and reflecting so far below.
