Reconciling Works

Building an Inclusive Church (BIC) training helps you design and implement a journey for your faith community to publicly and intentionally welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions, and incorporate a commitment to the work of racial equity. Building an Inclusive Church equips you with ways to create dialogue, deepening relationships throughout your faith community rather than sparking debate and division.

The Building an Inclusive Church (BIC) Toolkit and BIC Training are complementary resources, to be used side by side in your journey of welcome. The training itself is designed to expand on the tools in the BIC Toolkit to best support the team of leaders who hope to guide your faith community.

The online training is 4.5 hours long, and held online through Zoom in real-time; registration is $75 - $25 per person. If you are hoping to join as a group to attend the training, all in attendance must be registered prior to the training date.

The in-person training takes place over a Friday evening (6-8:30 pm) and Saturday (10-4:00 pm); registration is $100 - $25 per person. If you are hoping to join as a group to attend the training, all in attendance must be registered prior to the training date.
