LGBTQ Affirming Churches & Easter Egg Hunts
LGBTQ Affirming Churches & Easter Egg Hunts
Beau Knowles April 9 2023
As a member of the LGBTQ Community, I often hear that individuals and families do not feel accepted by traditional churches. I haven't had that experience in many years but that is because I know where to go to find acceptance and support. Below is my list of LGBTQ Family Friendly Easter Egg hunts and a link to my list of 30 LGBTQ Supportive and Accepting Churches. Thirty is a great number in my book however, I will be adding to it soon after I collect a new list of United Methodist Churches who have recently voted to be LGBTQ Accepting. Watch for that article in the near future.
I spoke to LGBTQ Affirming Churches from last year and added some new ones. Find a place for your spiritual home that speaks best to you.
