This is a sensitive and overwhelming conversation, and growth can be slow and difficult. Revoice exists so that you don’t have to navigate faith and sexuality alone. Below are some of the best steps you can take early in your journey:
Ministry Leaders:
Ministry can be lonely and taxing; navigating discipleship of LGBTQ+ folks can seem daunting and without support. We want to walk with you as you grow in your care for LGBTQ+ folks.
- Get equipped to provide better discipleship and care for LGBTQ+ folks. Contact [email protected] to join our Church Partnership Program.
- Attend this year’s Revoice Conference. Spend a few days in community with sexual minority Christians and those who love them, engaged in worship and Biblical Teaching. October 6th-8th, 2022, in Plano, TX.
- Join our Digital Resource Library. Watch past conference talks, learn from thought leaders in faith and sexuality, and grow in your understanding.
- Read books written by LGBTQ+ Christians! I recommend these two to start:
- Still Time To Care by Greg Johnson
- All But Invisible by Nate Collins
LGBTQ+ / SSA Christians:
We’d love to help you connect to community, locally and online. Email [email protected] to get connected!
Family, Friends and Neighbors:
The friendship and love you offer LGBTQ+ folks plays a vital role in their experience of the love of God. We want to encourage you as you offer yourself in Christ’s example.
