The ministry of welcome continues to be important as people seek connection and belonging in the midst of our global pandemics. No matter where you are on the journey, you’ll find suggestions for increasing welcome. It is a graceful process, tailored for each context:
- learn how to become an Open & Affirming church or ministry,
- build an inclusive online worship experience (new resource!), or
- widen the welcome, being an Open & Affirming ministry.
Have you started the process? Consider continuing your journey toward O&A. Not sure where you’re at in the journey? Connect with our Executive Director + Minister or a regional team member in your area. Start here or email Rev. Guthrie Loy.
