Annual Events

Midsumma Carnival

Each year, MIC proudly participates in Melbourne’s Pride celebrations, the Midsumma Festival, through the Carnival and Pride March.

Our booth at the Carnival showcases what Melbourne Inclusive Church has to offer and gives us a unique opportunity to engage with LGBTIQA+ individuals, offering a safe and welcoming space for anyone seeking to connect.

Midsumma Pride March

Midsumma Pride March is Melbourne’s iconic march celebrating solidarity in gender and sexuality. It has always been important for Melbourne Inclusive Church to participate and be visible as a loving and inclusive community for LGBTQIA+ Christians, their families and allies.

Participating at Midsumma Festival has always been one of our most significant outreach events each year.

Past Events

Conference:
Ready to Rise 2023

Melbourne Inclusive Church held their largest conference to date in November 2023 – Ready to Rise. The two day event featured guest speaker Ps. Sandy Turnbull from The Glory Centre, California, and Janet Robertson, Director of Encounter Missions International. Ready to Rise Conference was a celebration of growth and the goodness of God being demonstrated and lived out through the rainbow faith community.

Guest Speaker:
Sharon ‘Rocky’ Roggio, Director of 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture

Director Sharon “Rocky” Roggio visited Melbourne Inclusive Church to speak about her latest documentary film, 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. The documentary chronicles how the misuse of the word “homosexual” in the bible changed the course of modern history. Rocky spoke about the significance of this message, not just for the wider christian and queer community, but for herself also.

Screening:
Launch of Authentic Faith at the Victorian Pride Centre

Members of Melbourne Inclusive Church share how coming out about their gender and sexuality has given them a deeper and more authentic relationship with God. We launched our video at the Victorian Pride Centre and had the opportunity to meet many new faces.
