Found Family with MaryB. Safrit

Celebrating Queer, Black Christians (feat. Zachary Gillis)


Listen Later

In today's episode, you're going to hear Zach and I talk about: 

  • learning the language of our sexuality 
  • worshipping and celebrating God in spirit and in truth
  • exploring the bravery of vulnerability
  • and the beauty of the Black queer community.

Zachary Gillis, born and raised in Northwest Indiana in the cities of Gary, Hammond, and Merrillville, has been proud to call South Bend home since 2009. After graduating from Bethel University (IN), formerly Bethel College, Zach diligently served in Bethel’s Offices of Student Development and Diversity & Inclusion while garnering his master’s degree in Intercultural Leadership from Goshen College in Goshen, IN. Zach joined the South Bend City Church Team in September 2018 and is so grateful to be at a place where he can live out his passions exactly as who God made him to be. In addition to being on the pastoral staff at SBCC in Pastoral Care and Worship & Arts, Zach is also the Choir Director at La Lumiere School in LaPorte, IN and the proud fur dad of two adorable Chihuahuas, Nemo and Topher.
