Open Door Ministry
The Open Door Ministry was established by parents of gay children and others interested in educating members of the congregation about the realities encountered by families with gay children and in diminishing prejudice against homosexual persons. Participants are seeking to minister to the needs of gays and lesbians and their families and friends.
This group meets the 1st Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in room 202. For more information on this subject we offer an extensive list of web sites you can review, a collection of recommended books, places to search for and find material, and a handful of other organizations you may find helpful in the Resources section of our Web site.
