We are a Queer, Christian Church where not all of us identify as Queer or Christian.

We meet online or outside to forge friendships, work for justice, and queer our theologies!
As the one-year anniversary of the violence in Israel and Palestine approaches, we continue to mourn lives lost, grieve the ongoing violence, and work to bring about ceasefire.

May our God of Peace encourage and strengthen us for the lifelong work of advocating for the holiness of every human life, the health of the land, and a future of healing. Amen.

Let's continue to call on officials to stop using tax dollars to fund genocide in Gaza! Before or after your calls, you may consider listening to this song or singing along:

Looking for a progressive church?

We are a church made up of people that represent many identities gathering to do church in a Queer way! We formed during the pandemic and will continue to gather online, in order to provide a church home for people spread across the continent. We also meet in-person in the Bellingham area, which is in the Salish Sea Watershed on the traditional territory of the Coast Salish Peoples.
