An online community dedicated to the spiritual care, faith formation, and leadership potential of transgender and gender-expansive Christians.
LOOKING FOR A PLACE WHERE YOU
CAN TALK ABOUT YOUR FAITH AND GENDER?
Welcome to a community created by and for transgender people, committed to growing in faith, supporting each other, and healing the world. Whether you identify as a Christian, grew up in Christianity, or are still figuring out your relationship to faith, you’ll find others here to share your journey. We’re fully online and accessible from anywhere. From video-based support groups, to an online Bible study, to a 24-7 chat server, we’ve got a place for you.
We hope that all of what we do makes our full affirmation of trans and gender-expansive people clear, but just in case it needs repeating: Transmission Ministry Collective believes that people of all gender identities and expressions are fully loved by God and should be supported at every level by their Christian siblings. We believe that God made humans co-creators and stewards of creation, and therefore the ways in which trans and gender-expansive people may choose to steward their bodies through medical and/or social transition constitutes faithful action. As an organization, we will always advocate for every individual’s right to self-identify and to choose any processes which bring them into alignment with themselves.
