The Covenant Network of Presbyterians appreciated the chance to connect with new and old friends at APCE Annual Event 2024. was such a joy to connect with you at APCE! Whether you stopped by our booth in the Marketplace, registered for (or attended) one of the two workshops we offered, or otherwise expressed interest in the ministry of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians, we’re thankful for your interest in strengthening the church by deepening our authentic welcome of LGBTQIA+ people.

We wanted to follow up, first, to invite you to reach out further if there are particular questions we can answer, resources we can provide, or situations you’d like to discuss. Please feel free to reach out to our Executive Director, Brian Ellison (brian@covnetpres.org) to talk by email, phone or zoom. That’s what we’re here for! Of course, this website is also a good source for lots of information.

For those of you with a particular interest in youth ministry and LGBTQIA+ people, we are partnering with APCE for a four-week Zoom class in March on the subject. You can read more about it and register here.

If you’d like access to the PowerPoint presentations we used in our APCE workshops, just reach out to Communications Coordinator Amy Cerniglia at amy@covnetpres.org to receive Expanding Our Worship and/or Building a Real Welcome for All God’s Children. These presentations are free for use in expanding your own understanding or your ministry setting as you see fit. (We do ask that you not post or distribute these, or use them in any published material without attribution.)

We’re grateful for the chance to connect with you at APCE and look forward to sharing our latest news, resources and opportunities with you.
