Small Church Voices: February 2026 Edition

The season of Lent is here—a time for reflection, renewal, and gentle courage. This is rooted work: grounding ourselves in what sustains us, tilling the soil of our hearts, and preparing the way for the One who brings new life and growth.

In this month’s newsletter, you’ll meet a small church in Oklahoma that discovered the quiet ripple effects of stepping out in faith and grace. We’re also sharing a new offering from our friends at the Center for Deep Green Faith, and a reminder to register for the Iona Collaborative Annual Retreat at Camp Allen in June. Spaces are filling quickly, so be sure to save your spot.

Read on for inspiration and encouragement. And as always, if your small church has a ministry or bivocational leader others would be blessed to learn about, we’d love to hear from you.

It’s a joy to stay connected and to share your stories.
