Welcome to the Grand Traverse Humanists. If you value science, reason, and compassion and believe that humans are responsible for their own destiny, you have come to the right place. We are a community for the non-religious in the Grand Traverse area, offering a forum for discussing and advancing a secular worldview based on our common humanity. Our programs include monthly speakers and discussions, film and book groups, and various volunteer and social events. All are free and open to the public. Check out Upcoming Events below, or click on the calendar. Nontheists, agnostics, atheists, freethinkers, rationalists, humanists, and more…we welcome you to join us!

  • G.T. Humanists Winter Solstice Celebration Dec 21

    Please join the Grand Traverse Humanists at 7 p.m. as we celebrate the day of Earth’s northern hemisphere’s maximal tilt away from the sun, resulting in the year’s shortest day! Come enjoy the company of fellow secularists during the festive season. We’ll gather at the home of Mark Elliott and Heather Kingham, 7670 E Shore Rd. in Traverse City. Please RSVP to Mark at 231-392-1215, and bring a dish to share if you like!
