Gender + Sexuality
Liberation Ministry

Affirming the belovedness of all people, all bodies, and all ways of loving by creating inclusive faith spaces through comprehensive sexuality education and justice oriented projects.

Our goal is to walk alongside faith communities as they create more affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ people to have access to spiritual homes and places where all people can explore gender and sexuality and what God’s liberatory call might be for them in those areas of their lives.

For far too long, the Church has been an institution that has caused harm through purity culture, homophobia and transphobia, and a fear of all things sexual.

We envision a Church that leans into joy, love, and liberation for all people, and works to dismantle systems of oppression. We believe that gender + sexuality liberation is for EVERYONE!
