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.

You found this site because you care.
That's the beginning of everything.

This is a toolkit for congregations that want to move from privately affirming to visibly present — with practical tools, honest strategy, and language rooted in scripture and lived experience. Not because welcome is easy, but because it is worth the work.

Queer people are already in your pews. They are already in your choir, your vestry, your children's ministry. This site exists to help you see them clearly, name them specifically, and build the kind of community where they don't have to wonder whether they belong.

That is the work. We are glad you are here for it.

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.
