Purpose of the Coalition

Pride Flag.

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.

The congregations and affiliate ministries on this website provide safe, supportive, and affirming environments where God-given diversity of sexuality is celebrated. We invite you to attend one of these churches to nourish your spiritual journey and its fruit: a more loving relationship with God, others, and yourself.
