LGBTQ Ministry
You’re in the right place.
At Resurrection, our purpose is to build a Christian community where non-religious and nominally religious people are becoming deeply committed Christians -- this means being the kind of place where everyone can feel at home. For our sisters, brothers and others in the LGBT community, we host several gatherings with a variety of goals. Maybe you’re looking for a small group to help you dive deeper into your faith. Maybe you’re looking for ways to understand the LGBT questions that you might better offer care to friends and family. Maybe you just want a safe place to learn, share, and grow. No matter where you are, we want to meet you there. You’re in the right place.

Guys and Yahweh: Gay Men Small Group
Resurrection Overland Park, Monday evenings, 6:30 pm. Guys and Yahweh is a gay men's small group, building faith through fellowship and study. Led by Ryan Conrad.
Our primary goal is to provide a space for gay Christian men to connect to one another in a small community where we share the journey of knowing, loving, and serving God and others. Through fellowship, study, worship, and service, our small group will strengthen the spiritual discovery and growth of each participant. It is our hope those who have been hurt by previous experiences or have limited church exposure will find a welcome place in our group. As we share the story of our lives with others and see more clearly how our story connects with the larger story of God’s redemptive activity, we make progress toward the goal of becoming deeply committed Christians.
Our weekly meetings occur at Resurrection Overland Park from 6:30-8 pm the first three Mondays of the month. We will engage in an hour of studying Scripture, which may include how our lives as gay men fit into the teachings of the Bible. The fourth Monday of the month, we will gather in downtown KCMO for fellowship and dinner.
For more information, please email Ryan Conrad.
