OUR COMMUNITY

We believe in the transformational power of community to change lives and the world.

Only in community can justice and love be done. We are part of the global church. Our Members are inspired by a shared commitment to Jesus Christ. We believe that work for justice, peace and an equitable society is a matter of urgency and that we have a responsibility to live in a right relationship with the whole of God’s creation.

We are a movement, a community and an organisation

enabled by our Members, Associate Members, Young Adults, Friends, staff, volunteers and others who work with us to advance the purpose of the Iona Community.

We are now about 280 Members scattered globally

mostly in the United Kingdom. We have a growing Young Adults Group and around 2000 Associate Members and Friends worldwide.

We meet in small local groups, called Family Groups

clustered into Regions. It is through our Regions and our Family Groups that Members account to one another for living, and keeping our Rule of Life.

Our staff – both paid and voluntary – support our values

and are integral to how we host community and deliver programmes. Staff at our island centres share a rhythm of common life with each other and our guests.

As a Member of the Iona Community I have found an international network of friends with shared values.
