Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

Our objectives are: Providing affirming worship for lesbians, bisexuals, gay & transgendered/transexuals, families & friends. To provide worship which is inclusive of all who wish to nurture and develop their spirituality. To provide opportunities for our members & friends to explore faith in a relaxed, friendly & informal setting. To foster/support LGBTiQ people in & beyond Wellington. Who are we? We are an ecumenical Christian congregation comprised primarily of lesbians and gay people. We are committed to the uplifting of all believers, and our services are led from within the group. We recognise common ground between Christianity and other spiritualities and their different approaches. We are non-judgemental and open in theology and enjoy exploring the good in other paths using inclusive language, concepts and stories. Because of historical homophobia in society along with Church's negative attitude to homosexuality, lesbians & gay men personal & spiritual development is stunted.
