Holy scripture tells us that all people are created beautifully and lovingly in the image of God. We welcome and celebrate the gifts of all LGBTQ+ people and recognize them as full members of the Body of Christ.

We have LGBTQ+ members in every aspect of leadership -- both lay and ordained. In the Episcopal church, all sacraments are open to LGBTQ+ people, including the Holy Eucharist, baptism, ordination, and marriage.

"Our civic communities and our faith communities are better places, are more Holy places, are more Christ-like places because of LGBTQ+ people."

-The Ven. Laurie M. Brock, Rector at St. Michael's
