A TESTIMONY: "Some churches have become inclusive of gays and lesbians, but for transgender people especially youth, church can still feel extremely unwelcoming. There's shame, there's judgement ... instead of just being there to help." —Mark (GLAD Alliance)
OUR STORY: We're working on making sure that Journey of Faith is a place where people can be who God created them to be. We're providing a safe space to gather for groups or organizations supporting LGBTQ, transgender, or non-conforming youth — no strings attached. Our space is available free of charge for marginalized groups to meet.
HOW YOUR MONEY IS SPENT: Your donation of $20 covers a portion of the cost to provide a warm, inviting and safe "home" for vulnerable youth.
You can use the "Quantity" field to indicate how much you would like to donate from $1.00-$500.
Please note that a payment transaction fee (2.9% of the amount donated, plus $.30) is included to process your donation. The transaction fee will be deducted from your donation.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MAKING A DONATION!

HOW OUR FAITH COMMUNITY HAS BENEFITED FROM THIS MINISTRY: A new support group for parents of gender non-conforming or transgender children (POTC) is being held at Journey of Faith Christian Church, 1900 Manchester Road, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104. The FREE Adolescent Gender Discussion Group is open to middle and high school students at the same time and location as the parent support group. The support group usually meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 5:00-8:00 p.m.and is facilitated by a licensed social worker and peer advocate.

LGBTQ and transgender people of faith are searching for the same things that other believers want: a loving community where worship and working for equality and justice are the focus of their faith experience.
