The OneByOne Speakers Bureau exists to provide on-site education and training for Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations. Our goal is to equip church leaders and members to understand and provide compassionate, Christ-centered pastoral care for individuals struggling with their sexuality. Speaker's Bureau representatives include Presbyterians who have experienced healing of their own sexual identity, behavior, and orientation, as well as PCUSA pastors who have supported such individuals in their quest to live in obedience to the biblical and confessional standards affirmed by the PCUSA. To arrange a presentation by one of our speakers, contact OneByOne via email (kjohnson@fpco.org) or phone (407-423-3441 ex. 1489).
