Trans and Gender-Expansive Community Group
The Trans and Gender-Expansive Community Group provides a supportive community to gather and address questions and topics specific to those who are discerning if they should come out, are in the process of coming out, have recently come out as Trans/GE or are coming out again and aren’t sure how to deal with the differences between the first and second coming out process. This community group acts as a safe, conversational space to process the feelings and potential obstacles individuals may experience in coming out as a Trans/GEI (Gender Expansive Identities) Christian, and spends some time concentrating on what are known as the LGBTQ+ “Clobber Passages” in scripture.

Book Study: Reading from the Margins
Join us for a thought-provoking and transformative book study on Reading from the Margins by Miguel A. De La Torre. In this 10-week community group, we’ll explore how scripture speaks differently when read through the eyes of the marginalized. Together, we’ll unpack themes of power, liberation, and justice—and how these insights can reshape our faith and activism. This is a space for honest conversation, shared learning, and spiritual growth rooted in the lived experiences of the oppressed. All are welcome—especially those who long to see the Bible through a lens of equity and inclusion.
Led by: Richard Hinchman

God is building a home. They are using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what They are building. God used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now God is using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together.
Ephesians 2:20-21
