Welcome to IRL Connections
About IRL Connections
IRL Connections exists to combat isolation by creating opportunities to gather around board games, books, art, and other creative activities. What started with hosting fire-and-board game nights in our front yard has morphed into a mission to create safe spaces for people to gather and address the epidemic of loneliness in our society. Beyond our front-yard game nights, we began working with Sauk Rapids-Rice Community Education to host a monthly "Board Games With Neighbors" event at Sauk Rapids-Rice Middle School. We are now expanding to host a board game night twice a month at B-Side Indie Music Cafe in Downtown St. Cloud. Our events are welcoming to all.

IRL Faith
IRL Faith is about expressing faith in ways that connect with our everyday lives and about seeing our homes and neighborhoods as sacred places where we can encounter the presence of Jesus, just as much as in traditional church buildings. We see faith as something that touches our whole lives and is not confined to a specific location or time. We do this by creating open, respectful spaces for exploring the spiritual aspects of life.
