Note our changed rates during the pandemic: the Church Group rate of $75 now allows an unlimited number of participants log in individually from home, or your church can attend all of the webinars with our discounted Season Pass, also for unlimited participants at home. Our lower rate of $25 allows up to three participants. Registration for individual webinars is below.

Our webinars are designed both for Open and Affirming congregations and for churches taking their first steps towards an ONA covenant. We’re offering eight webinars in June, July and August as part of our “Summer of Hope” program. Dates and a link to the registration page for each webinar are provided below.

All webinars are at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, 5 p.m. Mountain, 4 p.m. Pacific, 3 p.m. Alaska and 1 p.m. Hawai’i, and run for about 90 minutes. Our webinars use the Zoom application: we’ll email information on how to use this app when you register. If there are multiple participants, only the person making the reservation will receive the login info: this should be shared with other participants.

	ONA 101 For congregations that are not yet ONA, this webinar will help you design an ONA process that builds consensus and reduces the risk of conflict. Based on the principle of "graceful engagement," a well-planned ONA process can help a congregation deepen relationships and discover new passion for the Gospel. Led by Coalition Executive Director Andy Lang.	REGISTER NOW! Thu, June 25
	1-TO-1 CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ONA "One-to-One Conversations" are an important early step for churches on the way to an ONA covenant. Kimi Floyd Reisch, the Coalition's Minister for ONA Program, will show how members of your ONA team can plan these conversations for your church. Practice sessions in small groups will be included. With careful preparation, these conversations are an effective way to build relationships and invite church members into the ONA journey.	REGISTER NOW! Thu, July 9
	ONA and the BIBLE Just seven short texts from the Bible are sometimes an obstacle for congregations on their journey towards an Open and Affirming covenant. But there are more than 31,000 verses in your Bible! What does the Bible teach about our relationships with God and each other? And how should you respond when members of your church have questions about the seven texts often used to condemn same-sex relationships? Led by Andy Lang.	REGISTER NOW! Thu, July 16
