NORTHWEST CHRISTIAN NETWORK
The 2026 Unity Project is an interactive day of discussion, listening, learning, and growing together around the core theme of our unity in the Body of Christ. FOUR tables, each discussing a different part of the “Propositions for Christian Union” will occur simultaneously, giving participants a chance to go through the entire document. Participants are at each table for 30 minutes and then move to the next table.
This year’s theme is "Parlez". It means “to speak”. In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, if a pirate declared “parlez” all aggression ceases and open communication happens (there are pirate rules that must be obeyed). So, we are laying down our swords and picking up a cup of coffee to converse on common ground.
This will be a guided conversation around the unity in the church that maintains our differences but holds to core values to build us together and create avenues for us to work together and grow together.
There is NO main speaker. We will converse, eat together, have a group share time and conclude our day together with communion.
The goal for the 2026 Unity Project is to shift the needle of thinking towards how we need to be One Church, just as Jesus prayed in John 14 "so the world will believe".
OUR UNITY AMPLIFIES HIS MESSAGE.
The Unity Project exists to equip and encourage Christians to live up to the vision of Jesus: that his disciples would be known by their love for each other.
​
We are not a "unity movement"--we are not trying to merge denominations or make Christians agree on points of doctrine. We are a unity project: an ongoing conversation about how we as Christians can love each other
​
You can join the conversation by following us on Facebook, attending our annual gatherings (on the last Saturday of February), or checking out content from our previous gatherings below. You can even put on a Unity Project of your own!
