For this very first SPIRIT GATHERING, we reach out to welcome and honor all who identify as Christian and have the courage to believe
God does NOT discriminate!
 

Come take a step back in time in beautiful Eureka Springs for a weekend and invite friends and family to share God’s love and validation. We will have music, speakers, discussions, a picnic and a Sunday nondenominational service to wrap up the weekend and go forth with new love and open arms for ourselves and all people! 

We invite CLERGY and VOLUNTEERS wishing to offer input, advice and/or participate in any way, to please contact the committee right away!

"Equal in the Eyes of God"

"I lay down this challenge: Can you really believe in God or really believe in Jesus if you do not also believe in yourself? Your own self is the basis of any understanding, belief, or love. If you reject your own self, you reject the possibility of any worthwhile achievement, including genuine religious faith."  from Sex and the Sacred, p. 10  Daniel Helminiak

"People who are afraid of their sexuality are constantly living in hiding from their own selves. As a result, they are handicapped in all their dealings with other people and especially in their capacity to love deeply. All interior growth is stunted when people repress their affection, for heartfelt passion is really the engine of human achievement." from What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality, p. 26. Daniel Helminiak

Allowing God to manifest within us requires that we strive for the good of the whole with every encounter, in every situation, with each person we meet.” Deb Starnes

A sacred place is not necessarily a physical locale but a community in which all people are affirmed as God’s creation.”  Deb Starnes

"I realized if I didn't step into the light of truth my denial would drag me deeper into the dark." Paula Sophia Schonauer

"Remember, Remember, Re-member the body of Christ." Paula Sophia Schonauer

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
