Why Genesis works...
The Genesis partnership is the only relationship in the U.S. between two diverse congregations, who share the same building. The two congregations maintain their separate identities to worship however, both TBE and St. Claire's have many of the same values and participate together in shared community service and social activities. This true win-win relationship has existed for over 40 years. - Murray Rosenthal (Genesis of Ann Arbor President 2020-2021)
