Scavenger Church of the Overlooked is a community devoted to learning through joy, curiosity, and love as a spiritual practice. While our roots draw from Christian understandings of love and creation, we are specifically designed to be a place for people of all beliefs who wish to explore meaning through play, reflection, and compassion. We believe that whenever people learn, create, or care for something with genuine curiosity and kindness, they are engaging with the sacred. As scavengers are not of a single species, we are not of a single belief.

Our work is grounded in what we call the overlooked — the small, sensitive, and often-forgotten parts of ourselves and the world that quietly hold life together. We honor humor, sensitivity, and freedom, as expressions of love, and we believe that connection — with one another, with learning, and with the unknown — is the true heart of spirituality.

This is our practice when we meet up as a group. From this same approach, we alsocollaborate with schools, community groups, and organizations to design learning experiences that honor empathy, curiosity, and connection as reliable methods of growth and engagement. Our practice aligns with human-centered learning, placing lived experience and care at the core of every gathering, workshop, and partnership we create.
