| The OneByOne Speakers Bureau exists
to provide on-site education and training for Presbyterian
Church (USA) congregations. Our goal is to equip
church leaders and members to understand and provide
compassionate, Christ-centered pastoral care for
individuals struggling with their sexuality. Speaker's
Bureau representatives include Presbyterians who
have experienced healing of their own sexual identity,
behavior, and orientation, as well as PCUSA pastors
who have supported such individuals in their quest
to live in obedience to the biblical and confessional
standards affirmed by the PCUSA. To arrange a presentation
by one of our speakers, contact OneByOne via email
(mail@oneby1.org)
or phone (585-586-6180). |
