LGBTQ+ Bible Study

Sunday at 1:00 PM

Location: Ballston Quarter.

About this Group:

Discuss the Bible and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ people to grow in their understanding and relationship with God. This group is a welcoming space across theological differences seeking to pray together, explore the Bible, and share life with one another.

The study this fall: “Hurry is the enemy of spiritual growth.” Through this conversation, you and your group will be challenged to reassess your habits, priorities and spirituality—what John Mark Comer calls, your “Rule of Life”. Under the direction of the weekly discussion and associated activities, you will begin creating margin in your life so that you can build meaningful relationships and strengthen your connection to God. By slowing down and being intentional with your rule of life, you will discover how to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in a chaotic world. As part of the discussion, please purchase a copy of "Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer.

Leader:

Tom has been going to Grace for 12 years and prior to leading the LGBTQIA+ group has volunteered with the youth group and a college-age group. Tom grew up in small town Pennsylvania and Silver Spring. In his free time he enjoys reading, going to the gym and cheering on Maryland Terrapins football and basketball.

Note from Pastor John:

Statistically, the number one thing the church has become known for is being “anti-LGBTQIA+”. That doesn’t fit with Jesus’ message: “they will know you are my followers, if you love one another.”  At Grace Community Church, our goal is for everyone to experience the power and love of Jesus Christ. We are a safe place for anyone who wants to connect with God through grace and faith in Jesus. If you have questions about our approach, please reach out to me at john.slye@trygrace.org.
