Welcome
Living Out is committed to helping churches to support same-sex attracted Christians and to teach wisely and compassionately on sexuality. There are a number of things that we offer to churches:
- We have a 10-point audit that leadership teams can work through to assess how well they are doing at being biblically inclusive, as well as highlighting areas to work on.
- We run the Living Out Course with a mixture of personal stories, biblical teaching, practical application and Q&A.
- We have a range of stories, videos and animations that you can download and show in your own church contexts to teach and inspire.
- We have a podcast series designed specifically for church leaders.
- We provide resources giving clear teaching on biblical sexuality, rooted in the gospel and framed by God's good creation and ultimate redemption.
- We provide practical teaching on how to listen well and respond with pastoral sensitivity.
- We are constantly developing new resources for churches which will appear here.
The Living Out Church Audit
The Church Audit is a tool designed to enable you to assess how biblically inclusive your church is and to make sure it is a community in which same-sex attracted and single Christians can thrive.
The Living Out Course
The Living Out course has been running for six years. It is a time of biblical and practical teaching on sexuality, designed to equip churches to better help those who experience same-sex attraction to stay faithful to biblical teaching on sexual ethics and flourish at the same time.
The course offers a positive biblical vision and practical steps forward as we seek to model both grace and truth in our Christ-like love for all those who experience same-sex attraction
