What We Believe
We believe the Story of Jesus, the Gospel, is good news for everyone.
Whether you are a follower of Jesus or not, we know each of us has our particular beliefs and practices around faith, sexuality, and gender. There is a time and place for us to gather with people who share these in common with us, but Kaleidoscope communities are by nature a place of diversity and discovery.
What matters most to us at Kaleidoscope is the safety and “room” for you to process through what you believe. As a community, we offer space for people from all different levels and types of religious and spiritual engagement who are interested in Jesus and the hope he brings. We have the utmost respect for how people believe or practice their faith differently.
At Kaleidoscope, each person comes to the table with particular beliefs and lives. No matter what you believe, you are welcome at our table.
We Stand Against Conversion Therapy
Conversion therapy is any attempt to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. We have not, do not, nor will we ever support or practice conversion therapy or any other type of sexual orientation change effort (SOCE). We respect adults’ decisions to pursue whatever support they believe is helpful. We are aware that conversion therapy and similar practices by conservative ministries in the past have produced deep harm for LGBTQ youth and adults. We take particular care to protect young people from any form of manipulation.
