No matter your age or stage, there is a place for you to connect with others in groups, classes, clubs, conferences and events. Take part, meet others, learn and serve together - we are meant to grow and deepen our faith alongside others, who encourage an empower us to make space for God in our families, friendships, work and sphere of influence. To become the voice of peace and wholeness that brings forth the kingdom of God in our world.
Gay Women Abiding is both a community and a small group. We have a fall and spring Bible study where we grow in Christ together. These six session studies vary in topics and materials, and members are asked to try to commit to attendance during the semester they choose to participate. We also have general social events (Coffee in the Park, pot lucks, the Big Picnic at the Nelson, Holiday Party, etc.) These are open to all GWA members, not just those in the Bible study. Most of these community building social events occur during the summer or Holidays.
In response to community health concerns, we have use Zoom, when warranted, to continue meeting or studying together. Otherwise, we meet in person for socials and Bible studies. Our members are all ages and situations in life and all women from our diverse LGBTQIA spectrum are welcome.
