Learning and Dialogue

Following our mission to grow together in relationship with God, each other, and our community, this series is designed to foster informed, respectful, and faithful engagement to grow in our understanding and care for LGBTQ+ individuals within and beyond our church community.

Each session will build on the previous one. See below to watch the recordings from our previous sessions.

"Faith, Identity, and Belonging: A Dialogue of Lived Experience"
Thursday, July 10 at 7:30-9:00 pm
Join us for the third session in our Learning and Dialogue Series, where we’ll share stories from individuals with lived experience in both the Queer and Christian communities. We'll begin with a time of reflection, followed by a compilation of these stories.

The session will also include a presentation on the Listening Report completed by CCRC in January, with time for Q&A. Participants can then choose between a facilitated dialogue or a personal time of reflection.

We invite you to come with a posture of love and a curious mind, ready to listen and learn from our Queer family.

Upcoming sessions: 
Thursday, July 10 at 7:30-9:00 pm
