Affirming Congregations

Affirming Congregations are religious communities committed to fully welcoming and supporting people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. They actively promote inclusivity, ensuring that everyone feels respected, valued, and able to participate fully in the congregation’s life and activities. This commitment often includes celebrating diversity in worship, outreach, and leadership, reflecting a belief in the inherent dignity of all individuals. Affirming Congregations aim to create safe and affirming spiritual spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals can grow in faith without fear of discrimination or exclusion.
