Building Community Across Faiths

The Interfaith Operations Peer Group first emerged in response to a congregational need to understand the complexities of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan in 2020. Revitalized in 2024, the peer group gathers operations leaders at congregations and houses of worship from across the Washington DC metro region to discuss their most pressing concerns.

We meet virtually on a Tuesday of every other month from 12 PM to 1 PM.

Want to join us? Shoot us an email and we’ll add you to the invite.

All our welcome! We have vestry members, board members, executive directors, directors of operations, and volunteers. If you play a leading role in your congregation’s operations decision, please join us.
