Queer Bible Study

Matthew 22:39 ❤️
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Do you identify as LGBTQIA+ and find yourself carrying doubt, shame, or hurt because of religion? Are you curious about reconnecting with your faith—or exploring it in a new way?
If so, you’re invited to join a queer Bible study centered on rediscovering God’s word through love.

This space is rooted in the belief that Christ’s love is for everyone. Despite what many have been taught or made to feel, your identity does not disqualify you from faith—it is part of your story, and you are worthy of love, belonging, and grace.
For a long time, I struggled with confusion, frustration, and even resentment toward religion. I asked God why I was made the way I am, wondering if that meant I was somehow wrong.
Over time, I came to realize that the hurt I carried didn’t come from God—it came from human misunderstanding, systemic bias, and teachings that strayed from love.
Through reflection and growth, my faith has become something different: something rooted in compassion, inclusion, and love for all people—myself included.
