What Is ‘the Circle’?

‘The Circle’ is God’s protective design for sex and sexuality. The first things we learn about human beings in the Bible are in relation to their gender and sexuality. Sex is important. Sex is powerful. Sex and our sexuality are both gifts to be used for the glory of God and the good of His creation.

The Bible clearly defines the circle. Trusting the Circle is trusting God’s way is the right way and living in accordance with that truth.

What Are We Doing?

Trust the Circle wants to represent a safe space where people can find answers to questions about Biblical sexuality in our modern context.
We believe God gives clear purposes and designs for sexuality that lead to human flourishing.

There are four main areas of sexual equipping we aim to address:

• Biblical Sexuality - What the Bible says sex and sexuality are.

• Purity - The application of Biblical sexuality to our lives.

• Worldview - The way we interpret and understand our sexual culture.

• LGBTQ Relationships - How we love those who are living outside God’s design.

Why Are We Doing This?

Trust the Circle exists because we care about the glory of God and the flourishing of His creation.
That creation includes people of every gender, sexual identity, ethnicity, creed, and custom.

We believe the Bible. We believe the Bible is the Word of God and gives us all we need to know for life, salvation, and godliness. Since we believe the Bible is true, we want to equip others with the information it contains about one of today’s most controversial matters.

We want to represent a voice that has long been quiet in the discussion surrounding sex and sexuality.

We hope Trust the Circle is a resource for Christ-followers seeking to learn more about Biblical sexuality.
We also hope this initiative serves as a way to introduce people to God’s transformative grace in light of a broken world.

Who Is Doing This?

Trust the Circle has been developed primarily by a local church pastor alongside a team of college students and campus ministry staff.

Other university ministers, cultural commentators, and individuals struggling with same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria have contributed.
