Connect with Beloveds Everywhere

We were never meant to walk this path alone.

Way of the Beloved is a growing community of seekers, strugglers, sinners and saints learning to live from love—together. Whether near or far, you’re invited to connect with others who are awakening to their belovedness and walking the way of Jesus in grace and truth.

Connect Monthly on First Saturdays

"First Saturdays" is a live virtual encounter led by Dr. Jeffrey Garner that takes place on the first Saturday of every month. If you are a curious learner, new in your faith, looking to supplement your spiritual practice or simply connect with others, First Saturdays welcomes you!

Each encounter is one-hour and includes a teaching segment, artistic worship, and a time of reflection. We also offer Q&A time after the encounter for those who want to dive a bit deeper!

First Saturday is an easy way to feel part of a global spiritual community.

ANCIENT WISDOM

Experience a live teaching about the Way of the Beloved, a pathway of following Jesus as found in the Fourth Gospel.

ARTISTIC WORSHIP

Worship in community as we feature a different artist or engage with art as an expression of worship.

JOURNALING + CONTEMPLATION

Reflect on what The Spirit is saying during the journaling and meditation segment.
