LGBTI+ Prayer Policy

This policy applies to all prayer aspects of Ministry:

Introduction

At Dove Gospel, we are committed to creating a welcoming and compassionate environment where every individual seeking spiritual support feels valued, respected, and loved. This policy outlines our approach to serving members of the LGBTI+ community, ensuring that all interactions are conducted with dignity, understanding, and care.

Policy Statement

We believe that all people are created in the image of God and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Dove Gospel is dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals from the LGBTI+ community to explore their faith and receive spiritual care.

Prayer and Spiritual Support

• Prayer Guidance: Our policy restricts prayer sessions from focusing on an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity as subjects for change or conversion. Instead, our ministry emphasizes praying for the general well-being, peace, and spiritual fulfilment of all individuals.
• Prayer and Blessings: We offer prayer and blessings that seek to uplift and affirm the individual’s value and worth in the eyes of God. Our approach is to listen with empathy, offer biblical care that comforts and strengthens, and bless their journey and challenges in life without discrimination or judgment.

Training and Sensitivity

• All staff and volunteers at Dove Gospel undergo regular training to ensure they are equipped to handle sensitive topics with the utmost care and inclusivity. This training includes understanding the specific needs and experiences of LGBTI+ individuals.

Confidentiality and Respect

• We uphold the highest standards of confidentiality and respect in all our interactions. Individuals’ privacy will be respected at all times, and any disclosures made during prayer will be handled with strict confidentiality.

Inclusivity and Community Engagement

• Dove Gospel strives to engage with the wider community in ways that reflect Christ’s teachings of love and acceptance. We actively seek opportunities to support community initiatives that promote inclusivity and understanding where we can share the message of Jesus.

Feedback and Continuous Improvement

• We welcome feedback from all our visitors to help us improve our services and ensure that our environment remains respectful and supportive. We are committed to continuous learning and adaptation to better serve our diverse community.

Conclusion

Dove Gospel is a place of healing, hope, and harmony. We are dedicated to serving everyone who enters our doors with the same compassion, respect, and love, affirming that every person has immense value and potential. As we navigate the complexities of faith and personal identity, we remain steadfast in our mission to be a beacon of God’s unconditional love.
