A PROGRESSIVE READING OF THE BIBLE AS LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING

Reasons “Progressive” or side Christians are listening
Reasons to listen:

  • Learn more about how the bible supports this versus what the mainstream teachings say.
  • So many new people have joined our church, we need to do some re-teaching.
  • To give me inner peace when I’m talking with people who think I’ve lost my faith

A PROGRESSIVE READING OF THE BIBLE AS LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING

Reasons “Conservative” or side Christians are listening
Reasons to listen:

  • To better understand different interpretations and people who think differently than me.
  • To hear a good faith argument for inclusion.
  • Because or church says we welcome LGBTQ, but in reality they don’t feel welcome.

Meet the Co-Directors

Brenna Rubio and Bill White co-founded Small Church Big Table to offer transformational leadership coaching. In addition, they co-lead a small, Jesus-centered and radically welcoming church in Long Beach, California.

Brenna Rubio

The "quiet pastor" and Enneagram 1. A third-culture kid and feminist, she's been de- and reconstructing most of her life.

Bill White

The "loud pastor" and Enneagram 8. He started seriously deconstructing around the time his kids identified as gay.

What Our Colleagues Are Saying

About Small Church Big Table:
As a church planter, non-profit leader, and woman pastor, I’ve learned the challenges of setting up healthy leadership systems and know how hard it is to build inclusive models that can truly allow the whole team to thrive. I’m thankful there are leaders out there like Bill and Brenna who are willing to lean into this difficult and totally worthwhile work. What a gift it is to have their resources, experience, and support as we navigate what it means to deconstruct power and share leadership in the church and beyond.
— Jennifer Fisher
Co-founder, Launchpad Partners, Pastor, Cincinnati, OH
…it wasn’t until I encountered and engaged with Bill and Brenna that the idea of ‘partners in ministry’ began to really make sense. Partnership wasn’t just some word used to create an unhealthy hierarchy, but was a real goal to bring about equity and inclusivity and reconciliation.
— Andrew Nishimoto Executive Director, Family Promise of the South Bay
