2020 Summit
Portland, OR

September 24-26

Building Wider Bridges
We are focusing on helping churches find new ways to build more accessible bridges from sexual brokenness to wholeness for this year's summit. Sexual brokenness is still crippling church members from carrying out the unique purpose God created them to fulfill. We desperately need a wider bridge that our entire church community can access, to move from sexual brokenness to wholeness.

​Our 2020 Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit will be held at:
​
Village Church
330 SW Murray Blvd
Beaverton, OR 97005

Jay Stringer’s first book, Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing is based on a multiyear research project into the stories of 3,800 men and women to address the key drivers of unwanted sexual behavior, why people remain in a place of shame, and the journey towards a new sexual story. His research is one of the most comprehensive studies on the subject. 
​
Jay holds an MDiv and master in counseling psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and received post-graduate training under Dr. Patrick Carnes and Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at the Allender Center.
