Is Hesed Collective at the Passion Center a church?
Hesed Collective is what we call the faith community of The Passion Center, rooted in the way of Jesus, formed through covenant love rather than traditional institutional models. Some may call that church; others may experience it as a sacred community. We hold space for both.
Why the name hesed?
Hesed is a Hebrew word that describes God’s steadfast, covenant love—love that stays, remembers, shows up, and acts for the good of others. It’s not sentimental or performative; it’s love expressed through presence, loyalty, justice, and care. This word names the posture we want to embody as a community.
Who is Hesed Collective for?
Hesed Collective is for people longing for a faith community grounded in belonging rather than performance, especially those who may feel weary, disillusioned, curious, healing, or searching for a justice-rooted expression of faith.
What does “Collective” mean?
“Collective” reflects our belief that church is not built around performance or hierarchy, but around shared responsibility, mutual care, and covenantal belonging. We understand community as something we practice together, not something we consume.
How can I get involved?
You can join our gatherings, participate in Hesed Circles if you are near a local hub, and stay connected through our digital platforms. There is no pressure to perform, only an invitation to show up as you are.

We don’t ask for tithes/offerings—but if people want to support us in a bigger way, we are extremely grateful. But we do expect to build together. The Hesed Collective is a community sustained by the generosity of those who believe in creating a refuge for justice-seekers, faith-wanderers, and those longing for a spiritual home beyond traditional spaces.
What we hope for is a simple monthly gift of only $20 from each person that calls this space home which helps us continue this sacred work—creating digital hush harbors, building community, paying guest speakers, offering resources, and ensuring our operations remain strong. Your contribution is an investment in a movement of faith, love, and liberation.
Join us in making this vision possible. Become a sustaining member of The Hesed Collective today.

PLEASE NOTE: We value the privacy and sacredness of our gatherings, which is why we do not livestream or publicly share them. Think of us like a modern-day hush harbor or even speakeasy—our community grows through word-of-mouth and personal referrals, not public promotion. Only active members receive the password to access gathering videos, ensuring that our space remains safe, intimate, and focused on genuine connection.
