Prism is a spiritual formation group designed to be a safe place for students who identify as LGBTQ+ and for students processing their gender or sexual identity in some way. It is a place to share stories, engage with Scripture, and become more like Christ for the sake of the world.
For Prism to be a safe discipleship experience for students who identify as LGBTQ+ and for students processing their gender or sexual identity in some way, it is helpful to clarify what this group is and is not.
What this group is…
- A space for students to share their stories and experiences.
- A space to be known, supported, and respected.
- A space to discuss difficult topics and challenge one another toward Christ-likeness.
- A space to engage the Bible, especially on the theme of sexuality.
- A space to encounter authors and speakers with key perspectives related to Christianity and LGBTQ+ topics.
- A space to help individuals and the Bethel community better navigate how to treat all people with respect while engaging areas of disagreement.
What this group is not…
- A group that will determine or create a theological statement.
- A group that will seek to establish, undermine, or change university policy.
