2026 Silver & Gold Banquet Recap

A Beautiful Evening of Fellowship, Testimony, and Biblical Encouragement

The 2026 Silver & Gold Banquet was a meaningful evening of fellowship, generosity, and encouragement for the Identify Ministries community. We were grateful to see so many familiar faces, welcome new guests, and gather together around the mission of helping individuals, families, and churches navigate questions of identity and sexuality with biblical truth and compassion.

Hosted at Canvas Church, the evening included hors d’oeuvres, dinner, fellowship, ministry updates, recorded testimonies, and a keynote address from Dr. Julie Hamilton. From the beautifully decorated venue to the generosity of volunteers, staff, board members, and supporters, the night was a powerful reminder of what can happen when the body of Christ comes together around a shared mission.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Julie Hamilton

Dr. Julie Hamilton’s keynote address offered both clarity and compassion as she helped guests better understand important factors related to same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria. Her message was spiritually encouraging, intellectually thoughtful, and deeply practical for families, churches, and ministry leaders seeking to respond with wisdom and truth.

We are grateful for the expertise, care, and biblical conviction she brought to the evening.
