About

ChurchAffirm seeks to empower faith communities to embrace radical belonging, equity, and justice for LGBTQIA+ Christians through education and consulting. Partnering with congregations, ChurchAffirm provides workshops, Bible studies, leadership training, and actionable guidance to foster lasting transformation. This initiative not only affirms the inherent dignity of LGBTQIA+ Christians but also strengthens congregations in their commitment to belonging, helping their continued growth into communities of radical love and justice.

Mission Statement

To equip churches to affirm LGBTQIA+ Christians and embody Christ’s radical love.

Vision

We envision a world where the church is a sanctuary of belonging for LGBTQIA+ people. In this future, the church embodies Christ’s love with honesty and courage, cultivating spaces of trust, mutual care, and hope. Barriers of fear and exclusion are dismantled, replaced by relationships grounded in justice, liberation, and shared humanity. Through the transformative power of God’s grace, the church becomes a beacon of healing and unity, bearing witness to the abundant life promised to all. Rooted in this vision, ChurchAffirm seeks to bring the church closer to the kin-dom of God, living into the fullness of God’s promise for creation.
