Faithfully following the paths we’re called to; inspired by those who’ve come before us!
For many of us LGBTQ+/SSA Christians, faith can feel like a journey through the wilderness; uncertain where we’re going, trudging along, hoping for some fresh vision after the next hill, hoping to find a path carved before us. We wonder where we’re going, how we’ll get there, and if we’ll be alone along the way. As we’ve discovered at each year’s Revoice conference, we’re not alone in the journey; in fact, there are some faithful models whose steps we can walk in, and paths that have been carved for us by the Spirit of God.
As Hebrews 11 celebrates the faith of our spiritual ancestors, we’ll be gathering at the Revoice26 Conference to celebrate all of our spiritual ancestors — both in Scripture and in modern life. Revoice26 is a celebration of all the beautiful, rich faith in the LGBTQ+/SSA community as we seek to follow Jesus in the historic sexual ethic, living as if God “had planned something better” for us (Hebrews 11:40). Together with community leaders and allies, we’ll also explore how we can be faithful to God when the world around us does not reflect God’s love and vision, joining the saints in “longing for a better country” in God’s Kingdom (Hebrews 11:16).
We hope you’ll join us at Revoice26 as we walk this path by faith together.

You’ll get the same great level of speakers, worship, intimate affinity groups, and chat spaces — all within the comfort of your home. Perfect for those with inflexible work schedules, tight budgets, or who need higher levels of privacy.
-
Because we value connection and community, we provide lunch on Thursday and Friday. We can accommodate many, but not all, dietary restrictions. Have questions? Email conference@revoice.org.
We’re excited to have two Marriott Bonvoy hotel blocks within 15 minutes of the venue! It’s best to book early to secure better pricing.
-
Prior conference guests will recognize our lunchtime affinity groups, but our Community Team is working hard to offer more social connections for key groups at our conference, helping you build some connections in a fun space.
-
Breakout sessions are an important part of the Revoice conference experience. These workshops create space for deeper learning, conversation, and practical reflection as we seek to follow Jesus faithfully together.
This year, breakout sessions are organized around three streams that reflect the full arc of Christian discipleship: foundations of faith, flourishing in faith, and kingdom building by faith.
-
Our pre-conferences are offered from 1–4pm on Wednesday. We’re still prayerfully gathering content and speakers for our pre-conferences but are thrilled to welcome back Posture Shift as our first track.
DISCIPLESHIP | Growing in the ways of Jesus.
We believe the ways of Jesus are full of life, and we want to grow in our understanding and commitment to them together. Whether you have a strong relationship with the Church or are unsure where you’re at in your faith journey, this is a space for you to reflect on and connect with Jesus.
DIGNITY | A place of safety. Period.
Whether you’re newly “out,” not out at all, or an ally to our community, we’re committed to crafting a conference where you experience kindness and hope. Come ready to receive and give dignity to all you meet.
COMMUNITY | Encouraging connection with others.
Revoice is a space for LGBTQ+/SSA Christians to gather as a community centered on joy, freedom, and faithfulness.
We’ll engage in Scripture-guided teaching, liturgical readings and prayer, and musical worship together each day with breakout sessions centered on Biblical principles and engaging practical needs.
At the bottom of this page you’ll find our guest conduct agreement, but here are some privacy guidelines to be aware of.
BADGES:
NAME TAG: Your name tag is your ticket to get inside the building. Please wear your name tag at all times while you are on the premises of Vineyard Columbus. If at any time your name tag is damaged or lost, please inform conference staff so that you can receive a replacement.
LANYARD COLORS: If someone is wearing a white lanyard, do not take their picture and please make sure that they are not recognizable in the background of your pictures (or videos). If in doubt, please refrain from taking the picture. Yellow lanyards are worn by staff. Ask permission of anyone before you include their name or picture in any post on social media.
CAPTURING THE CONFERENCE
RECORDING: Please refrain from recording any of the workshops, tracks, testimonies, or keynote addresses. This includes both audio and video recording. Repeated violations of this policy may result in you being removed from the conference. Photographs are allowed, as long as they meet the policy below.
SOCIAL MEDIA, PHOTOS, AND VIDEO: If you would like to post about your experience at Revoice Conference, we would love for you to do so and to tag us - @revoiceorg. We encourage you to take pictures during the conference. However, out of respect for the privacy of your fellow conference attendees, we ask that you please exercise great caution regarding who appears in your pictures.
PRIVACY REMINDER: Always ask your fellow attendees beforehand if they are comfortable having their names or pictures included in your social media posts. If you are found to be in violation of this policy, you will be asked by conference staff to delete any violating posts immediately. Repeated violations of this policy may result in you being removed from the conference.
QUIET ROOMS
If you need to take a break at any point during the conference, we have some spaces for you to use—look for the candle icon on the map:
SENSORY ROOM: The sensory room is located right off the main auditorium, and is available for anyone who needs to step away from the crowds for a few minutes, take a breath, and reset. There are screens so you won’t miss anything from the main stage.
QUIET ROOM: The Quiet Room is a little more remote and quiet, located past the chapel in the prayer room. Feel free to use this space if you need some time alone to close your eyes or journal. We’ve also added some reflection and prayer exercises in the quiet room for you to engage.
NURSING ROOM: if needed, you can access it through the Sensory Room off the auditorium.
PRAYER MINISTRY
Our prayer room is open for you throughout the conference. You can also spot our designated prayer ministers by their badges.
They will be at the back of the auditorium to pray with and for you after every main session, with extended prayer ministry available on Friday from 4 to 5 PM.
CONFERENCE FAQS
-
First-timers should make sure they come to our first-timers meeting on Wednesday at 6 PM — you’ll get lots of helpful tips there and an opportunity to meet some new people.
We’re also creating affinity group meetings during our lunchtimes for people to connect, including a “new connections” group to help people meet each other!
-
As a conference with hundreds of participants, we cannot guarantee or control the actions of others; that said, we have privacy policies in place that attendees agree to when purchasing a ticket.
If you have concerns about your privacy, make sure to wear a white privacy lanyard, and you won’t be photographed or videoed by the Revoice team or attendees.
-
Our programming is designed for adults, and for safety, minors may not attend alone. That said, each year we have parents who choose to bring their teens and have a great time!
Stage content is not graphic in any way, but discussions of sex and sexuality are frank, and parents should consider what is best for their child.
-
Absolutely, please come and engage! Each year, about 25% of our annual attendance is made up of straight friends and family who love us, and many pastors tell us our conference is the best example of Biblical community they've experienced.
That said, we ask that you recognize who this space is primarily for — LGBTQ+ Christians who follow a traditional sexual ethic. We ask that you not ask our guests uninvited questions, and don’t try to use our community space as a “think tank.”
Our speakers welcome your questions and engagement — so go ahead and learn from the speakers, while letting the rest of our community enjoy this space of safety and intimacy.
-
Each year, we have guests who aren’t sure about their theology. It’s important to remember that Revoice hosts a diverse community from a variety of faith traditions and beliefs. If you are still discerning your theology, have doubts, or even openly disagree but want to see what Revoice is all about, you’re welcome to join us.
That said, guests will be expected to honor the dignity and beliefs of others and recognize that Revoice teaching will reflect our commitment to a particular theology and ethic.
-
Each year, Revoice is hosted by a church that offers us their hospitality and commits to creating a safe, encouraging environment for us. Often, host churches offer us their space at little to no cost, charging only for personnel, and we receive this generosity as a show of love to the LGBTQ+ community.
We love and are grateful for our host churches. That said, host churches do not impact or dictate Revoice’s values and beliefs, and vice versa.
Our presence at a specific church does not indicate that this church agrees with everything said by a conference speaker (as an ecumenical conference, we have a wide variety of disagreements about things outside of sexual ethics), and our presence also does not indicate that Revoice affirms or agrees with every bit of teaching done by the church.
