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.
