A 2SLGBTQIA+ Affirming Church
We are an Affirming church. That means we’re part of a network of faith communities that proudly declare the full inclusion of all people.
Our Affirming Statement
We are an inclusive and supportive community of faith that follows in the Way of Jesus. We welcome the ministry and participation of all persons regardless of age, gender identity, health, race, sexual orientation, differing abilities, religious or ethnic background, or economic circumstance. We hope that in all we do, God's unconditional love is experienced.

Because the need for Affirming churches in Canada emerged as a response to the exclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ people, this is where much of affirming work has been focused. We know that the work of inclusion is never done, and we’re committed to living out all parts of our Affirming statement. There are several social justice groups active in our church such as the Right Relations Circle, the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good, the Refugee Ministry Team, and the BIPOC Spirituality group.
We observe many 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual and more) related days such as Calgary Pride, Transgender Day of Remembrance, and our yearly Affirming Anniversary. We also host two 2SLGBTQIA+ related groups.
Something Completely Different (currently on pause)
Every fourth Sunday of the month, all 2SLGBTQIA+ identified people are welcome for an evening of conversation, connection, and socializing.
Parents of 2SLGBTQIA+ Individuals
The first Tuesday of each month, parents of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals meet for connection and conversation.
