At the Faith, Sexuality, and Gender Conference, Dr. Preston Sprinkle dives deep into the theological, relational, and ministry-related questions that come up in the LGBTQ conversation.

Attend either the full conference (Mar. 8–9) or the 2.5-hour Introduction to the LGBTQ Conversation on March 8. The Introduction is especially helpful for parents with LGBTQ kids, leaders, and those with LGBTQ loved ones.
