If you are LGBTQ+ or straight at Calvin...
Because the church Calvin is affiliated with does not regard different sexual orienations as sinful and calls us to care well for our LGBTQ+ members (see https://www.crcna.org/welcome/beliefs/position-statements/homosexuality), Calvin seeks to be a safe place for LGBTQ+ and straight students to grow and learn. With the CRC denomination, we affirm that a student can be LGBTQ+ and a follower of Jesus Christ. It is our mission that all students will find a place at the university where they can be shaped for work and worship in God's kingdom. SAGA works to foster a climate where that is possible and every student can learn about sexuality, gender, and relationships in light of their faith.
