A toolkit for churches

Welcome is a daily practice
of radical love.

Resources, strategy, and tools for congregations that want to communicate genuine welcome to LGBTQIA+ people — not just in Pride month, but as a way of life.

Many churches mean well.
Meaning well isn't enough — we must live in the welcome.

There is a difference between being privately affirming and being visibly present. Hanging a banner in June is a beginning. Becoming the kind of community where queer people actually make a home is the work. This site exists to help churches close that gap — with honest strategy, practical tools, and language rooted in scripture and lived experience.

What we're after here is not inclusion as a general virtue. It is the specific, named, costly, joyful work of seeing queer people clearly and welcoming them accordingly.

This is an attempt to specifically cherish our fellow children of God and step out of our silos.

Still There Is Room Luke 14:22

People across the full spectrum of this community belong in this work: queer people, parents, priests who have made room, lay people with stories worth telling. I am looking for all of you. If you want to write for the site or be part of an interview, reach out. If you have something from inside your community that belongs here and isn’t yet, reach out. You can remain completely anonymous, or become a named collaborator; the choice is entirely yours. Nothing about you will be shared without your permission, and I will be glad to set up a time to talk. This is volunteer work; there is no pay.
