Our guest preacher for More Light Sunday 2024 is Avery Arden (they/them). Avery graduated from Louisville Seminary in 2019 and joined the More Light Presbyterians’ national board of directors in fall 2022. They currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, with their wife, Leah Horn, and two cats.

Avery’s ministry centers around transgender and disability theology and involves preaching, leading workshops, and cultivating virtual resources. Visit linktr.ee/queerlychristian to explore those resources, including queer-inclusive worship materials; a multifaith podcast of transgender stories; a timeline of gender diversity across Christian history; and YouTube videos on disability theology, scripture, and more.

We are Avery’s sponsoring congregation and Avery and Leach are Grace Presbyterian members.
