The Big Queer Bible Study - A Lenten Journey

Join us this Lent for The Big Queer Bible Study! We’ll gather on Tuesdays at 6:00pm, March 11 - April 15, at a coffee shop on Campbell Avenue to explore Scripture through a bold, affirming, and liberating lens. Using Kevin Miguel Garcia’s book, we’ll dive into the stories of our faith with fresh eyes, centering LGBTQ+ voices and experiences in a safe, celebratory space for all who seek a deeper understanding of the Bible. Whether you’re wrestling with Scripture, searching for affirmation, or just curious about how the Bible speaks to queer lives, all are welcome—LGBTQ+ folx, allies, and anyone longing for a faith that embraces and uplifts. Come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s journey together toward a faith that is expansive, inclusive, and deeply rooted in love!???? The Big Queer Bible Study book will be provided in advance for those who need a copy, or it can be purchased on Amazon. To sign up, contact Pastor Kelli Knight, [email protected]
