SUMMARY:LBGTQIA+ Youth Ministry Class 2024
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQIA+ Youth Ministry \nA four-week course offered by APCE\, in partnership with the Covenant Network of Presbyterians \nTuesday afternoons\, March 5-26\, 2024\, 2:30 to 3:45 p.m. CST\, on Zoom \nCost: \n\nRetired Members of APCE $15\nMembers of APCE $20\nNon-Members of APCE $35\n\nThis four-week course is for any youth ministry professional or volunteer\, Christian educator or pastor who is seeking to create safe\, welcoming and effective ministry spaces for LGBTQIA+ students\, their families\, and the congregations and communities who love and support them. The course will provide a foundation for understanding the concepts and vocabulary of sexual orientation and gender identity; offer practical help with expectation-setting\, policy-writing and event planning; and provide the opportunity for questions and idea-sharing to address particular questions. Every week will have presentations followed by moderated opportunities for questions and discussion.  Brian Ellison\, executive director of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians will serve as moderator of the four-week course\, teaching the opening and closing classes and facilitating questions and discussion for the other two weeks. Participants will be invited to offer input on topics and questions they want to see covered along the way. \nFour-week Class Schedule \nWeek One\nLGBTQIA+ 101: An Overview of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity\nTeacher: Brian Ellison\nWhat do all those letters stand for again? This class offers an introduction and overview on the vocabulary and concepts that describe diverse gender identities and sexual orientation. We discuss evolving words and self-understandings\, and what they might mean for how we think and talk about identity in our faith communities. \nWeek Two\nTrans\, Non-Binary\, Fluid\, Genderqueer: The Landscape of Gender\, Identity and Adolescence\nTeacher: Slats Toole\nIn classrooms\, doctor’s offices\, legislatures and school board meetings\, the lives and gender identities of young people have been under scrutiny. How can the church and our youth ministry best serve youth of all gender identities in this turbulent time? This class will address key issues and offer practical help accommodating\, serving and celebrating young people at all points on the gender identity spectrum with sensitivity\, understanding and creativity. \nWeek Three\nMaking Sure Camp is Fun for ALL: Creating inclusive camps\, conferences and retreats—and\nbuilding the policies and practices that make them work.\nTeacher: Pepa Paniagua\nThis class will offer insight and practical help in providing students\, youth leaders and parents/guardians\, the assurance that the LBGTQIA+ welcoming ministry offered in youth gatherings will be rich with meaning\, intentionality around the unique realities of serving LBGTQIA+ youth and will be transparent about seeking to be a safe and healthy space for all. The class will provide real-life examples of activities\, community agreements and event plans\,\nas well as guidance in developing policies regarding sleeping arrangements\, restrooms and more. \nWeek Four\nPutting it Together: A Theology and Practice of Welcoming LGBTQIA+ Youth\nTeacher: Brian Ellison\nIn this final week of the course\, we bring together the learnings from the previous three weeks and ground them in a way of thinking theologically about the work we do: How does the community we create\, with intentional inclusion of LGBTQIA+ youth\, reflect the fullness of the gospel? How do we explain this significance in the context of the rest of the church’s ministry? This final class will also offer ample opportunity to cover questions not answered previously\, deepen particular topics\, and share participants’ own experiences that can benefit others. \nBios for Course Leaders \nThe Rev. Pepa Paniagua (she/her) is a pastor\, facilitator\, educator\, innovator\, writer\, advocate and ally\, and she is passionate about thinking outside the box and gently leading others through the challenging conversations about the vast expanse of God’s love.

SUMMARY:LBGTQIA+ Youth Ministry Class 2024
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQIA+ Youth Ministry \nA four-week course offered by APCE\, in partnership with the Covenant Network of Presbyterians \nTuesday afternoons\, March 5-26\, 2024\, 2:30 to 3:45 p.m. CST\, on Zoom \nCost: \n\nRetired Members of APCE $15\nMembers of APCE $20\nNon-Members of APCE $35\n\nThis four-week course is for any youth ministry professional or volunteer\, Christian educator or pastor who is seeking to create safe\, welcoming and effective ministry spaces for LGBTQIA+ students\, their families\, and the congregations and communities who love and support them. The course will provide a foundation for understanding the concepts and vocabulary of sexual orientation and gender identity; offer practical help with expectation-setting\, policy-writing and event planning; and provide the opportunity for questions and idea-sharing to address particular questions. Every week will have presentations followed by moderated opportunities for questions and discussion.  Brian Ellison\, executive director of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians will serve as moderator of the four-week course\, teaching the opening and closing classes and facilitating questions and discussion for the other two weeks. Participants will be invited to offer input on topics and questions they want to see covered along the way. \nFour-week Class Schedule \nWeek One\nLGBTQIA+ 101: An Overview of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity\nTeacher: Brian Ellison\nWhat do all those letters stand for again? This class offers an introduction and overview on the vocabulary and concepts that describe diverse gender identities and sexual orientation. We discuss evolving words and self-understandings\, and what they might mean for how we think and talk about identity in our faith communities. \nWeek Two\nTrans\, Non-Binary\, Fluid\, Genderqueer: The Landscape of Gender\, Identity and Adolescence\nTeacher: Slats Toole\nIn classrooms\, doctor’s offices\, legislatures and school board meetings\, the lives and gender identities of young people have been under scrutiny. How can the church and our youth ministry best serve youth of all gender identities in this turbulent time? This class will address key issues and offer practical help accommodating\, serving and celebrating young people at all points on the gender identity spectrum with sensitivity\, understanding and creativity. \nWeek Three\nMaking Sure Camp is Fun for ALL: Creating inclusive camps\, conferences and retreats—and\nbuilding the policies and practices that make them work.\nTeacher: Pepa Paniagua\nThis class will offer insight and practical help in providing students\, youth leaders and parents/guardians\, the assurance that the LBGTQIA+ welcoming ministry offered in youth gatherings will be rich with meaning\, intentionality around the unique realities of serving LBGTQIA+ youth and will be transparent about seeking to be a safe and healthy space for all. The class will provide real-life examples of activities\, community agreements and event plans\,\nas well as guidance in developing policies regarding sleeping arrangements\, restrooms and more. \nWeek Four\nPutting it Together: A Theology and Practice of Welcoming LGBTQIA+ Youth\nTeacher: Brian Ellison\nIn this final week of the course\, we bring together the learnings from the previous three weeks and ground them in a way of thinking theologically about the work we do: How does the community we create\, with intentional inclusion of LGBTQIA+ youth\, reflect the fullness of the gospel? How do we explain this significance in the context of the rest of the church’s ministry? This final class will also offer ample opportunity to cover questions not answered previously\, deepen particular topics\, and share participants’ own experiences that can benefit others. \nBios for Course Leaders \nThe Rev. Pepa Paniagua (she/her) is a pastor\, facilitator\, educator\, innovator\, writer\, advocate and ally\, and she is passionate about thinking outside the box and gently leading others through the challenging conversations about the vast expanse of God’s love.
