Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit Trainings in Iowa and Ohio

The Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit provides a guide for your congregation to create a journey towards O&A that meets the unique needs of your congregation. It is not a “cookie cutter” O&A process, but rather a guide for finding the right place for your congregation to start, designing a community building process that meets your congregations needs, and a grace-filled path to becoming an Open & Affirming congregation.

And the best way to get started with the Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit is to attend a Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit Training!

In March the Alliance is presenting two Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit Trainings. These trainings will be led by Mark Johnston, Executive Director of AllianceQ’s Open & Affirming Ministry Program:
