We start with you.
Before the formal launch of DIVINE spaces in 2026 we want to secure 10 New York Founding Partners and raise $100,000.
It takes time.
It takes intention.
It takes investment.
Because it takes a movement.
Becoming a DIVINE space.
A faith community that recognizes that the presence of the queer community is vital, not optional, and has been ‘certified safe’ through a rigorous assessment process.
Assessment
We start with an assessment that asks provocative and challenging questions as well as introduces your community to DIVINE spaces.
Interview
Your answers form the foundation of the interview phase where we get to know you better and recommend next steps.
Immersion
We go much deeper in the next phase with anonymous polling and collaborative exercises. Here we get to take the pulse of your community.
Certify
Should each threshold be cleared, you will be certified safe. You'll receive a plaque, a public listing, and can now deliver specialist courses.
