[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been looking for this as well.  Unfortunately the combo of "contemporary praise/worship service" AND "lgbt friendly" seems to be too niche, at least in this area.  You can have one or other, but not both.

Churchclarity.org is a good source for info on whether a congregation is lgbt affirming.[/quote]

NP but adding on for those not familiar with church language:

“Welcoming” means they welcome you to attend and you aren’t likely to hear anti LGBTQ sermons. But they will probably restrict you from serving in leadership positions or performing on stage. (My old church wouldn’t allow someone living with a (opposite gender) partner to sing in the band, which would also apply to someone in a LGBT relationship.)

“Affirming” means they welcome you and you are allowed full participation without restriction.

Just sharing so you know phrases to look out for. You should still do due diligence because like everyone, they can say one thing and do another. [/quote]
