How Churches Can Become Safe Places Where Gospel-Centered Sexuality Thrives
Most Churches want to be a place where men and women can find hope and freedom from sexual brokenness. But the current culture of many churches creates a barrier to this pursuit. So how can we address the current culture of our church and begin to work towards health and holiness? When we take seriously the cultural issues of our faith community that prevent this, we can begin building a new culture of grace, authenticity and freedom. Whether we are the pastor, in leadership, or a dedicated volunteer!
Sexuality & the Church in America
Sexuality & the Church in America is a series of reports examining how churches and their leaders are addressing today's vital sexual, relational, and spiritual challenges. These reports are based on research conducted by Barna among 410 Protestant senior pastors in October, 2017.
With this research we sought to learn:
How are pastors responding to sexual challenges within the Church?
What are pastors doing to create a culture of sexual wholeness in their churches?
How do pastors’ personal experiences with sexual brokenness impact their ministry?
What do pastors believe is the proper role of the Church on sexual issues in society?
