Changing ConversationsInspired by the radical and unique love and hospitality of Jesus Christ, the program series Changing Conversations gathers people together in respectful community along with church leaders, including pastors, to explore issues affecting gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning persons. This is done through special programs, which include invited guest speakers and time for fellowship.
All are invited to join in these conversations, which seek to provide a safe place to discuss relevant topics pertaining to our life and faith together as a community.
