Join the Gallatin Valley Interfaith Association (GVIA) and the Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign on Thursday, October 5, 2023 for a FREE “Faith Over Fear” training for clergy and church member spiritual leaders from faith communities across the state to connect with their deepest-held ideals and be good allies to our Muslim neighbors and others marginalized communities. As we together work to build a more inclusive Montana, where all are treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, this Faith Over Fear training will help you: 

• Build stronger local multi-religious networks;

• Improve skills and confidence to speak and take action against anti-Muslim hate and other forms of discrimination;

• Increase community discussions to more effectively counter anti-Muslim discrimination and other forms of hate.

The training will be followed by a Celebratory Dinner from 5:30-7:30 PM, graciously hosted by GVIA at Hope Lutheran Church in Bozeman. Please register here to secure your spot today!
