How to Plant a Sacred Settlement.

Settled envisions a future where the local church lives in Full Community with its homeless neighbors, modeling healthy relationships, purposeful work, and meaningful abundance, and cultivating places where everyone is valued, celebrated, and functioning according to their gifts for the benefit of the whole.

"Permanent" doesn't mean our homes are built out of materials that somehow will last forever. No, to us, "permanent" means the stuff around you matters. It matters because you matter.
