The St. Charles Center is a gathering community and an incubator for ideas and partnerships that impact the region and the world beyond. Convening justice experts, reformers, advocates, people of faith and people of conscience, the Center gathers for good.

All major faith paths call adherents to work for the common good.

The St. Charles Center seeks to merge the best of spiritual teachings and the call to work for the world’s good through thoughtful, innovative events for people of faith, faith leaders, and those called to action.


“Every social justice movement in the United States has been infused with the energy of faith leaders who ignite our moral imagination and connect us with our ability to re-create the world around us. We do not need religion to imagine the world we want. But we do need more spaces to imagine and wisdom about how to do it.”
