A REVOICE CONFERENCE

Join us for Revoice26: By Faith, in person or online!

Hear from some new voices and familiar conference favorites as we explore how our faith shapes rich lives for LGBTQ+/SSA Christians, looking forward to our citizenship in the Kingdom of God. We'll gather for 4 days and 3 nights of incredible worship, Christ-centered teaching, and beautiful connection — all led by members of our own community. Our conference is a joyful space for our community to use their gifts and explore the work of God. 

A love letter.

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, we trudge 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 Revoice26 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, joining us on this path we’re walking by faith.

  • 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 the ways of Jesus together. Whether you have a great 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.

    We’ll engage in Scripture-guided teaching, liturgical readings and prayer, and musical worship together each day. Breakout sessions will also center Biblical principles in engaging practical needs.

    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 meet up in a group centered around joy, freedom, and faithfulness.

  • 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.

    This year, we’ll have special social gatherings for these community members:

    • Gender Minorities/Trans Guests

    • BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color)

    And of course, you can look forward to the return of The Intermission, our more casual Friday programming block.

    • Gluten-Free

    • Dairy-Free

    • Plant-Based

    Have questions? Email conference@revoice.org.

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 lunch-times 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 which all attendees agree to in 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 made with adults in mind, and in the interest of 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 who love us, and many pastors tell us our conference is their best example of Biblical community.

    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 don’t 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, if you have doubts, or even if you 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 with 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 Revoices’ 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 disagreement 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.
