Championing LGBTQIA+ Inclusivity Through Community Events

In the quiet heart of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church sought to redefine the role of faith in embracing the LGBTQIA+ community. Led by Reverend Scott, the church recognized a crucial need: to extend a sincere welcome to those historically marginalized by traditional religious institutions. The challenge was to build an inclusive environment while effectively reaching and engaging the community.

This mission became personal for Flux Media’s founder, who led the development and rollout of a community-focused LGBTQIA+ Ministry. A series of engaging, welcoming events was launched — from intimate pizza nights to live music coffeehouse gatherings — each designed to foster warmth, joy, and a sense of belonging.

To maximize awareness, we executed a comprehensive grassroots marketing plan. This included vibrant, thoughtfully designed flyers with QR codes for easy event access, placed strategically throughout the community. The messaging was inviting, heartfelt, and inclusive — setting a tone of openness and celebration.

On the digital front, Flux Media launched a grassroots-style social media campaign that collaborated with local platforms including Dartmouth Guide, New Bedford Guide, and SouthCoast Today. The campaign sparked meaningful dialogue and engagement across Facebook and Instagram.

In parallel, we carefully managed paid media via Meta Business tools, ensuring campaigns were hyper-targeted, cost-effective, and impactful — igniting interest across the SouthCoast while staying within budget constraints.
