Liberated to Love
The Liberated to Love group offered by Q Christian Fellowship is a 6-week support group designed to affirm and empower LGBTQ+ Christians. The group focuses on healing from harmful theology and religious experiences that condemn LGBTQ+ identities. Each week covers different topics, such as the possibility of changing theological views, the harm of conversion therapy, the divine freedom and peace found in being LGBTQ+, and the ultimate affirmation that love is winning. The group's purpose is not to impose theological certainty but to provide a space for hope, comfort, and affirmation, allowing participants to explore their journeys with God and their identity in a supportive community.
Led by: Rev. Dr. Daniel Schlorff & Tony Lancaster

Saturdays at 4PM ET
Catholicism & Sexuality
The Catholicism & Sexuality group is a 6-week guide created by Q Christian Fellowship in collaboration with DignityUSA. This group is designed to explore the intersection of Catholic theology and LGBTQ+ identity in an affirming and inclusive way. The guide encourages participants to engage in discussions that help reconcile their faith with their experiences of sexuality and gender, drawing upon the rich traditions and philosophies of the Catholic Church. Each week covers different topics, such as the connection between body and soul, deconstructing harmful narratives, and integrating personal faith and identity. Through reflection and conversation, the group provides a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ Catholics to navigate their spiritual journeys while embracing their identities as beloved children of God.
Led by: Sam Barnes & delfin bautista

God is building a home. They are using us all—irrespective of how we got here—in what They are building. God used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now God is using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together.
