MONADNOCK INTERFAITH PROJECT is a non-profit coalition of congregations from the Monadnock region of southern New Hampshire. We are wholehearted individuals working together to foster interfaith community, understanding, and systemic change that benefits our region.

MIP Community Assembly
Wednesday, April 9, 6:30 pm
Monadnock Covenant Church, 90 Base Hill Rd, Keene
After 17 listening sessions involving over 300 people, four topics emerged as being particularly challenging for people in our region:
- Mental Health
- Transportation
- Isolation
- Cultural civility, safety, and kindness
We now gather as a community to select a community challenge to focus on, and begin our work towards positive change.
In a time of many challenges, we come together to take positive steps forward. Your voice matters! Click here to RSVP for the Community Assembly. Childcare and ride sharing available.
We look forward to seeing you on April 9!
Listening for Change in the Monadnock Region
MIP is entering a new phase of listening towards identifying MIP’s next social justice campaign. Listening is a spiritual practice in which we open our hearts and minds to share authentically and listen deeply to our neighbors. We invite you to attend a community listening session Saturday March 8 at 2pm at Birdies in the back room (18 Main St. Keene). Please RSVP here. This is part of 15+ listening gatherings in our region.
