This group is indented for all who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community. We will meet monthly for a time of kinship and connection. Our meetings will vary from social hours, guided conversation topics, and guest speakers. The intention is to bring our community closer together with the principal background that we are queer people of faith (no matter what that faith may look like).
