Be confident in your biblical leadership of sexuality and gender

specialized training for your entire leadership team with a full implementation plan

Most church and ministry teams wrestle over how to faithfully honor God and radically love LGBT+ people.

Do you?

I struggle to help my staff/congregation engage with LGBT+ individuals in meaningful ways.
How can I love radically, stay faithful to Scripture, and understand the trauma many LGBT+ PEOPLE have experienced?
We’re losing LGBT+ people because they don’t feel like they belong.
Our people—even some leaders—are being influenced by cultural polarization.
Our leadership team is divided on an appropriate path forward.
Parents in our church feel unsupported in caring for their LGBT+ loved ones.

We can partner to help your church build a culture of Christlike compassion and biblical truth.

OUR VALUES

Honor Jesus
& the Bible

Train Your Leadership Team

Foster Unity
and Trust

Guided by Wisdom, Grounded in Experience

Our Posture Shift Intensive course is designed to solve each of the challenges above. We understand these topics and have been training and consulting churches and ministries like yours for over 18 years. Inclusion and care of LGBT+ people can present complexities. It’s even more complicated to address while maintaining unity on your leadership team. But there is a biblical path forward.

 

For almost two decades, Posture Shift has pioneered a missional framework to mobilize better engagement and sharing of Christ with LGBT+ people. We integrate a deep understanding of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality and gender identity with wisdom from psychology (submitted to the authority of Jesus). Our approach is further informed by thousands of real-life experiences of LGBT+ people, their families, and churches we’ve served.

 

We have seen thousands of LGBT+ people walk with Jesus and be discipled. Our team has trained 300,000 church leaders to “shift their posture” and reach LGBT+ people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. After the Posture Shift Intensive, your team can have the confidence to offer biblically grounded love, more thoughtful care, more effective relational engagement, and greater belonging for LGBT+ people. This translates to greater gospel fruit in LGBT+ lives.

We’ve collected many testimonies over the years from church leaders who after Posture Shift now have tangible outcomes such as…

  • language and relational skills necessary to build trust with LGBT+ people and nourish their faith identity in Jesus Christ.
  • confidence in speaking about and equipping their wider congregation.
  • unity as a team in working to maximize gospel reach to LGBT+ people.
  • inclusive spaces for LGBT+ people to experience belonging and find Jesus.
  • on-demand guidance to help families restore trust with LGBT+ loved ones.
  • workable overnight lodging options for trans and non-binary youth.
  • safer churches and homes so that communities of faith and people of faith can protect LGBT+ from the vulnerabilities they so often face in this world.

Take the next step to transform your team so you can generously include and thoughtfully care for LGBT+ people.

The stakes are high. As culture becomes more polarized, your church may inadvertently push people away—LGBT+ individuals, their families, and their friends. Churches who aren’t trained well are losing people and opportunities.

But you are not alone! Many leaders sense that their congregation is unprepared for what’s most needed.

With a Posture Shift Intensive, you’ll gain confidence, unify your leadership, and have a clear plan to honor Jesus and LGBT+ people and their families.

Your church can see renewed zeal, healthier conversations, and better relationships, positioning your ministry to reach the world with Christ’s love.

Equip yourself, your leadership team, and your congregation to faithfully honor God and radically love LGBT+ people. Our calendar fills up quickly. Contact us today to secure your spot. Begin fostering a more Christ-centered approach to inclusion and care of LGBT+ people of all ages. 

4 Stages of Readiness. Where is your church?

Every mission agency knows that reaching poorly engaged people groups requires proximity that is gained via earned trust. Trust can lead to relationship, which can lead to living out the gospel among people. Posture Shift applies best-practice missiology to help you reach yet one more people group in our world – LGBT+ individuals.
