Resources

Ask for Support

If this paper raises issues which receiving professional counselling would be helpful, our pastoral staff can help you connect with a counsellor. Our church is able to support you with the cost as needed.

In addition, we’ve set aside funds to support those in our church who identify as LGBTQ2I+. These funds may be used for additional counselling, resources, spiritual conferences or retreats, or other things that may be brought to our attention.

Join us in Prayer

We invite our community to pray.

Pray for the LGBTQ2I+ members of our church, both those who have shared their stories with us and those who harbour unspoken hurts.

Pray for the capacity of each one of us to love and serve our LGBTQ2I+ neighbours as Jesus would have us do.

Pray for the unity of our church even in the midst of differing convictions about sexuality and marriage.

Previous Initiatives

Book Study & Discussion - Summer 2022
In awareness of the harms done to our LGBTQ2I+ siblings, in the summer of 2022, our congregation was invited to two group book studies reading Heavy Burdens. We’re grateful for those who participated and encourage all to read through this and other resources provided.

If you would be interested in a future opportunity to explore these topics, please be in touch with a member of the pastoral staff.
