LGBTQ+ affirming churches

LGBTQ+ affirming churches are faith communities that openly welcome and support individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities. They believe that everyone is created in God's image and deserve love, respect, and inclusion. These churches actively challenge discrimination and promote understanding, often integrating LGBTQ+ issues into their teachings and practices. They aim to create safe, supportive spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals can freely practice their faith without fear of judgment or exclusion, emphasizing acceptance, equality, and the dignity of every person.
