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!
Want to receive monthly Zoom links and Wild Church locations?
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.

How to connect with Community of Hope?

Jon's call to ministry is rooted in peacemaking, creation care, LGBTQ liberation, mutual care, and striving to be a community living into the Kingdom of God (Matt 5-7). In other words, a mix of taking the Bible seriously and redeeming it from exploitative and judgmental interpretations. Hobbies include biking, board games, and spending time with their two dogs, Ruby and Sammy.
