Formed by Jesus in the way of peace

We’re exploring what Christianity looks like when we trust God is as nonviolent as Jesus—and allow that vision to form us into people who love what Jesus loves, desire what Jesus desires, and embody his way of life: practising forgiveness, peacemaking, nonviolence, and enemy-love.

You're already in the right place

The Nonviolent Gospel Network brings together people who share a conviction: the life and teachings of Jesus call us into a radically different way of being human.

This is a space for people who are trying, sometimes stumbling and sometimes growing, to live out the way of peace revealed in Jesus. Together, we’re learning what it means to live in and participate in a nonviolent gospel.

Join our online gatherings

We meet every other week to encourage one another in this way of life. These gatherings centre on Scripture, conversation, and shared practice. They are about formation, not performance.

Meet Stef Miles

The Nonviolent Gospel Network grew out of Stef's own journey of rediscovering the God revealed in Jesus. After more than three decades following Christ across a wide range of churches, ministries, and traditions, he became convinced that forgiveness, peacemaking, nonviolence, and love of enemy belong at the very heart of the gospel. Today, he invites others to explore that way of life together.
