Elizabeth Woning
Co-founder of Equipped to Love
I “came out” in my early 20s and attended a Presbyterian Church (USA) seminary openly lesbian. As a student in seminary I lobbied for marriage and ordination of LGTBQ-identifying individuals and ministered among gay-identifying youth, espousing a theology that embraced homosexuality. Upon graduating I served as a youth pastor in a small rural community, where an encounter with Jesus radically shifted my perspective. The love of God drew me into a revelation that transformed my life.

I have great passion for understanding homosexuality as it affects Christianity in our culture. I regularly consult with pastors and leaders who seek to establish connection with the LGBTQ community and to better serve individuals in churches who do not identify as gay, yet struggle with sexual identity issues. My heart is to see the LGBTQ community fully reconciled to God and to explore compassionate means of connection to those who disagree with traditional Christian beliefs.
I teach at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and regularly facilitate interactive conversations about homosexuality. I hold a Masters in Theology and am an ordained pastor.
My husband, Doug, and I live in Redding, CA.
