The Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches is a collaboration of more than 80 churches and other ministries in the Chicago
metropolitan area which welcome and affirm people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We have two
goals:
To spread the message of our members' LGBTQ-inclusion across the Chicago metropolitan area, mindful that a positive message about
sexual and family diversity is a gift to all people.
To connect the leaders, members, and guests of our partner churches for fellowship and education, enabling support and
resource-sharing for the practices of faithful welcome.
As we ease into Autumn, the Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches invites you to join us at our Fall Event, "Connection,
Celebration, Reflection."
Please join us to connect with each other, celebrate our successful 2022 Chicago Pride Parade experience and reflect on how we
did and vision for what’s next for us as a Coalition and our presence in the 2023 Pride Parade!
Come join us, meet some new folks from other Coalition partner congregations, enjoy light refreshments and vision and dream
about Pride 2023 and beyond!
