Virtual Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit Trainings

A Building an Inclusive Church (BIC) training helps you design and implement a journey for your faith community to publicly and intentionally welcome people of all gender expressions and sexual orientations. The training empowers congregations to create a grace-filled process towards becoming Open & Affirming, a process uniquely designed for the needs of each community.

Using the Building an Inclusive Church Toolkit, you will be equipped to deepen relationships throughout your faith community rather than spark debate or division. The Toolkit is an ecumenical resource with best practices, in its third edition developed by numerous Welcoming Church partners.

We can tailor a training for your group; contact us! Stay tuned for additional BIC trainings or email your preferred dates and times for a training. (There are some perks to virtual gatherings!)
