Leading Your Church Toward LGBTQ Inclusion
A Reconcile and Reform webinar with Rev. Dr. Ken Fong
Available On-Demand
Originally recorded November 21st, 2020
Event Description
As the senior pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church of Los Angeles, a predominantly Asian American Pacific Islander congregation, the Rev. Dr. Ken Fong led his church through periods of significant change over his nearly four decades in leadership. One of the most important and challenging changes was leading his church’s journey toward greater inclusion and affirmation of LGBTQ Christians.
In this webinar, Rev. Dr. Fong will tell both his own story of becoming affirming and the story of his historic and ideologically diverse congregation‘s path to engaging this conversation—and embracing LGBTQ Christians. By sharing the lessons his church learned as well as things he would do differently in retrospect, Rev. Dr. Fong’s insights will benefit both church leaders seeking to shepherd their flock and church members desiring to partner with pastors to move their congregations toward LGBTQ inclusion.
