Manifesto
We are The Inclusive Collective.
We are a community.
We are Artists. Intellectuals. Realists. Weirdos. Doubters. Believers. Students. People.
We are a safe place to be our whole selves.
Unashamed of who we are. What we look like. Or who we love.
We are shamelessly Christian.
And we’re reclaiming the genuine love it should mean.
We are Leaders and Activists.
We are Servants to those in need.
We are Fighters for true justice.
And we exist to fuel young adults through Jesus rooted soul work.
We Strive to Be
1.
Jesus-Rooted & Justice-Orientated
Jesus’ life, love, and transformative grace fuel who we are and all we do. We aren’t talking about a gentle, white Jesus with long flowing blonde hair. We’re talking about the Jesus who speaks truth to power, includes all people, and offers ridiculous amounts of grace - so that a status quo of fear and scarcity can be transformed into one of abundant life.
2.
Fiercely Open and Affirming to LGBTQ+ Students
The Bible reveals a God who is incredibly queer - one who is always dynamic and creative, unafraid of upsetting expectations, or creating tension. We see this queerness embodied in Jesus, word made flesh, fully God and fully human. We center this queer theology, not as a token of inclusivity, but as a central way of knowing and loving God better.
3.
A Community In-Formation.
We are a community that is dynamic - never static or fully arrived. Our fellowship program allows for maximum flexibility to meet people where they are at, while always encouraging them to grow into the leaders that God has created them to be. We are not afraid to be self-reflective and open to change.
