SEXUAL IDENTITY AND GENDER IDENTITY

  • Sunday, November 12
  • 11 am-12:15 pm in West Central Station

What is sexual identity? What is gender identity? What is the difference between the two? In this seminar, our Children’s Ministry and Student Ministries team will equip parents with knowledge to navigate an ever-changing world regarding sex and sexuality. We will share what we have learned from trusted experts. We will also talk about how you can equip your kids to follow Jesus and influence others in a world where more and more kids and teens are identifying as gay, lesbian, transgender, queer, or something else.
