Exploring How Identity, Theology, and Liberation Meet
6-Week Grow Group | All are welcome
What happens when we read Scripture through the lens of real-life experience — race, gender, sexuality, ability, culture? How does our faith call us to pursue justice that holds space for all of who we are?
In this 6-week Grow Group, we’ll explore how identity, theology, and justice meet — learning from queer and womanist theology, disability justice, and liberation movements that invite us into deeper reflection and faithful action. Whether you're new to these ideas or ready to go deeper, this is a space for honest conversation, deep listening, and transformative hope.
