Sacred Seen and Called: Living Our Truth, Embracing Our Light
Inspired by Philippians 2:15 – “Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.”

Join us July 9-10, 2025, at the Kansas City Downtown Marriott in Kansas City, MO!

This gathering, held just before the United Church of Christ General Synod, is an opportunity to worship, connect, and organize for justice. At a time when LGBTQ+ communities continue to face challenges, we come together in faith, resilience, and joy to affirm that God’s love is for all.
