A season of prayer, listening and discernment regarding same-sex relationships: church polity & leadership
Over the coming months, our church will be entering a season of prayerful conversation and reflection about our stance on marriage and sexual intimacy in relation to our teaching and leadership. We recognize these topics can feel personal and tender. This will be a time to slow down, listen well to one another, and seek God’s guidance together. Wherever you find yourself — curious, hopeful, uncertain, or simply tired — you are welcome, and our hope is that this process deepens trust and reminds us that we belong to Christ and to one another.

Gather at the Table Sessions
You are invited to join us for a season of prayerful conversation as we reflect on same-sex relationships and their connection to church polity and leadership. Together, we will seek to listen deeply—to Scripture, to one another, and to the Spirit’s guidance. Included in these sessions will be a Hermeneutics (Interpretation of Scripture) Workshop presented by Dr. Melissa Ramos, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at George Fox University.
