Services

At ChurchAffirm, we believe in transformation through learning and leadership. Our work is grounded in intersectional justice, rooted in theology, and oriented toward belonging—for LGBTQIA+ people and for all who’ve been pushed to the margins.

We focus on two core offerings:

1. Educational Programming

We offer engaging, rigorous learning experiences for congregations and communities seeking to grow in their understanding of gender, sexuality, power, and faith.

Our educational sessions are:

  • Theologically grounded – drawing from scripture, tradition, and queer/liberative theology
  • Intellectually rich – informed by critical theory, cultural analysis, and current research
  • Emotionally attuned – making space for grief, hope, curiosity, and joy
  • Always invitational – never shaming, always committed to growth and grace

We offer single-session classes, multi-week series, and custom learning journeys. Topics include:

  • Queer Theology 101
  • Gender Beyond the Binary
  • The Bible and LGBTQ+ Belonging
  • Religious Trauma and Healing
  • Microaggressions and Microaggressive Trauma
2. Consulting with Church Leaders

We walk alongside pastors, councils, and leadership teams as you discern how to foster a culture of belonging in your congregation.

Our consulting is:

  • Relational – grounded in listening, trust, and shared values
  • Strategic – tailored to your congregation’s history, needs, and context
  • Theologically informed – honoring tradition while inviting fresh perspectives
  • Sustainable – focused on long-term development

Whether you’re revisiting a welcome statement, navigating conflict, or imagining new ministries, we’re here to help you lead with clarity, compassion, and courage.
