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
  • ​merchandise that will keep your true identity in front of you on a regular basis
