EDEN INVITATION
"If people come together to care for each other, it is because they feel...that as a group they have a mission."
YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Eden Invitation creates space to receive the whole person, grow systems of mutual support, and empower for creative discipleship. We are disciples with LGBTQ+ experiences, building community with others who desire a way of life in congruence with Christ and His Church.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Eden Invitation is rooted in the belief in everything contained in the word of God, whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church, either by solemn judgment or by the ordinary and universal Magisterium sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed. We firmly accept and hold each and everything definitively proposed by the Catholic Church regarding teaching on faith and morals.
We believe that the human person is made in the image and likeness of God. Each person possess intrinsic dignity as a unique, unrepeatable human being. We are called by God first to union with Him.
We believe that the human person is both corporeal and spiritual. The entire human person - body and soul - is willed by God. Being created male or female is a "very good" reality. Our sexual identity is rooted in our whole person, male or female. We acknowledge that effects of the Fall are present in both our bodies and souls, and in sexual identity and sexual desire for all persons in various ways.
Every person is called to holiness and to chaste integration of their sexuality according to their state in life.

Please note: we expect our community members to strive to uphold a traditional sexual ethic and honor each other's confidentiality. We'll have you confirm your commitment to these principles before participating in any of our events. If you're doubting, searching, or still on the fence, that's ok! You're not excluded. However, out of respect for the community, we ask that you strive to commit to pursuing chastity during your time with us.
