Discipling LGBTQ+/SSA Congregants
This month we have a follow up to our May meeting when Art Pereira from Revoice shared his story and ideas of how to disciple our LGBTQ+/SSA Congregants. We will have opportunity hear from 3 panelists who have been intentionally addressing posture of their churches towards the LGBTQ+/SSA community, and we’ll have opportunity for some Q&A.
Our intent is not to enter into a theological discussion about our respective positions, but to find our points of unity and Christ Centred love and posture as we consider our disciple making practices.
Please register to let us know you're coming — your participation makes a difference for all of us.
RSVP: One Church Gathering
The RSVP form can only accept one person at a time; please encourage each person attending to complete the RSVP form.
