Who are you?
That question can be a source of much confusion and uncertainty. Our world has many answers to the question, and very few of them are consistent with God’s design and intent for our lives. A major piece of walking in authentic relationship with God, self, and others involves embracing our God-given identity, rather than the other identities that attempt to define us.

What is Identity Month?
Identity Month is a season set aside (month of June) to focus on our God-given identity and how to live in that.

How does it work?
There are a number of tools and resources on this site for individuals, families, and churches to help you engage with your identity in Christ, including:

• a campaign schedule (below) that other individuals and churches in the community will be following
• family-friendly, age-appropriate activities
• church engagement strategies
• fun activities to get entered to win prizes throughout the month
• merchandise that will keep your true identity in front of you on a regular basis
