So God created man in his own image,

    male and female he created them.

A Learning Opportunity for All Zioners

We live in a culture where the topic of gender, sexuality, and identity is front and center. This Theology Study is for any Zioner (Sr. High and up) who commits to gathering over five weeks for an exploratory journey on what the Bible has to say about these topics, engaging with cultural values and creeds, wrestling with relevant ethic questions, and considering how we can be the aroma of Christ as we navigate this topic.

At each gathering, participants will gather to share what they discovered in their prep/homework and conversationally engage with the given topic for the week. 

See below for more information on what this study entails.

Note: The participants throughout the study will use this page

The Work.png
It is expected/assumed that all participants, to the best of their ability, will do the homework (~1-2 hours between each gathering) and attend all of the gatherings. We also expect all members to engage in the discussions and ensure this TSG is a place where questioning, wrestling, and struggle are welcomed.
