Discover Our Affirming Church Directory: A Resource for Inclusive Faith Communities
What is an Affirming Church?
An affirming church is more than just "welcoming" or "gay-friendly." These congregations actively embrace LGBTQ+ individuals as full and equal members of their community. They affirm that love and faith transcend sexual orientation or gender identity, offering inclusion in worship, leadership, and all aspects of church life.
A Global Resource for Finding Your Spiritual Home
Our directory is a comprehensive guide to affirming churches across Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and beyond. Whether you're looking for a local congregation or an online service, we’ve got you covered.
Australia: From the Pitt Street Uniting Church in Sydney to the Hobart North Uniting Church in Tasmania, we list churches across the country that uphold progressive theology and inclusivity.
United Kingdom: The Inclusive Church directory provides a detailed list of LGBTQ+ friendly churches throughout the UK.
Global Reach: For those outside these regions, international networks like the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) and GayChurch.org offer additional options to find affirming congregations.
Why This Directory Matters
For many LGBTQ+ individuals, finding a church that aligns with their faith and identity can be a deeply personal and challenging journey. Our Affirming Church Directory is here to make that journey easier, offering a starting point to connect with communities that embody the values of love, acceptance, and equality.
A Living, Evolving Resource
We are committed to keeping this directory as accurate and up-to-date as possible. Thanks to feedback from our readers, we regularly review and update the listings to ensure they reflect the current affirming status of each church. When someone suggests a new church or provides updates, we carefully check them out before adding them to the directory. This collaborative effort helps us maintain a reliable and trusted resource for everyone.
