Purpose of the Coalition
The Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches is a collaboration of more than 100 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.
Transgender Video Resources
Because transgender persons are under renewed, specific attack within the larger community, we are highlighting resources that support trans people and that equip our partner congregations in including them.
Here are several videos highlighting the transgender experience that might be of interest to members of the coalition. Please let us know of other transgender resources that we should share among our partner congregations.
