Posture Shift intensive
Boston, MA
August 6-7, 2026
Equip yourself, your family, and your church leadership team with a biblical, practical plan for how to honor God and love LGBT+ people well.
A teenager comes out to your youth pastor after church.
A parent calls an elder in tears, not sure what to do.
A staff member quietly asks what your church’s actual policy is.
You’re the executive pastor and you haven’t mapped out how to offer inclusion for LGBT+ people.
Most churches don’t have a plan for that moment — just instinct, and hope it goes well.
That’s what changes in 2 days of Intensive Training.
