What we’re about
Update February 16, 2024 - please read
We have what sounds like a great opportunity: to participate in a "Spirituality & Sexuality" group hosted by Normal Heights United church. Check out the details in the event that Kevin just posted!
Please use a Meetup direct message if you want to reach me about this group--it seems I don't get notifications when someone posts in the Discussion area.
Blessings,
Mark
Organizer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re here to provide a fun and informal group where LGBTQ Christians can meet, hang out, and get to know each other. Any gender, any age, single or coupled—all are welcome!
The group is not affiliated with any church or denomination. No doubt some group members are conservative and some are more liberal. Some love traditional hymns and some rock out to contemporary praise. Some (perhaps many) are uncertain about faith and church after being wounded by religious institutions in the past. Some may even have experienced ridicule and rejection in the gay community for being a person of faith. This is a safe space to come with all those preferences and experiences and questions and doubts, a safe place to be both gay and Christian!
Due increased "bot" and spam activity, as of March 2019, an organizer must approve new members. Please fill in the sign-up questions in such a way that we can tell you are a real, local human being with an honest interest in joining the group!
A note on Meetup's discussion feature. Please remember you are posting to a multi-gender Christian group made up of people from many backgrounds. Non-commercial posts sharing Christian music, events, or resources are great. Personal, non-sexual posts are also welcome ("who wants to hang out this weekend?"). If you're organizing a group event at a public place, public replies are fine. To organize a private meeting, or to share personal contact info, please reply in a private message. Regardless, always be safe when meeting someone you don't know!
We look forward to meeting you!

Spirituality & Sexuality groups are places to process together the often painful and foreign topics that exist within and between these two realms. This space is open to both LGBTQ+ and straight folks, and each discussion group is guided by an NHUnited minister & a therapist. There is a "queer only" group and a mixed (queer/straight) group. These are drop-in as you can, so by attending one you aren't committing to come to all of them.
We usually meet for food & drinks afterwards at a nearby bar/restaurant, to continue the connection time.
If you haven't yet attended this group but are interested, please fill out a brief RSVP form, as well as letting us know you're coming here on Meetup. Hope to see you there!
