“Living in community is a great joy and a challenge. It is wonderful and difficult. It can feel effortless and life giving and at other times draining. History informs us that a strong community depends on the members approaching their stay with sincerity, commitment, honesty, open-mindedness and willingness to share and communicate.”

If you are interested in learning more about living in the Community of Hospitality (COH), please contact us. Applicants normally write a short essay about their spiritual journey, participate in phone interview(s), visit for a few days, and attend worship to get a feel for community life.

To submit the application to us, please download and complete the application (MS Word, 21K).

You may email your completed application to contact@communityofhospitality.org.

If you prefer paper, feel free to print it out and mail it to:

Community of Hospitality
305 Mead Road
Decatur, Ga. 30030

After we receive the application, we will call you and talk with you about your interest in the community and what the community might have to offer you. Together we will plan a time for you to visit the community, stay for several days, and experience life with the current residents. If there is an opening at one of the volunteer programs, we will arrange for you to visit that site.
