I ran across this post online again and wondered if you'd had a chance to visit Holy Covenant UCC (on Harris Blvd). If you come to visit, I'd love to meet you. I'm still attending HC and enjoying it a great deal. People have all sorts of preferences when it comes to church services, and I appreciate how you gave a feel for the churches in your post. I'd describe Holy Covenant as a traditional church setting with nontraditional church thinking. There's a real mix of LGBT families and straight allies, and the comittment to LGBT social justice issues (as well as other social justice issues) is very strong. Hi, Tony.

Holy Covenant declared itself officialy lgbt "open and affirming" a decade ago. I have found the congregation to be extremely welcoming in all respects, very diverse and very supportive of all its attenders, regardless of orientation or gender identity. I also enjoy the rich diversity each Sunday--young children (from both traditional and non-traditional families), older folks, a mix of ethnicities and the full range of L G B & T. The church is also very involved in many types of social justice issues, as well as the environment. I encourage anyone to visit. http://www.holycovenantucc.org/ I began attending Holy Covenant United Church of Christ 2 years ago, after a 25-year separation from church life altogether due to painful experiences related to my sexual orientation.

I would suggest MCC church in Charlotte. Almost everyone is gay including the preacher and they definitely won't "look down" on your sexuality. Whether or not you like the services is a different matter and you just need to attend a couple of times to decide. For a spiritual but non-denominational feel good experience, I would try the Spiritual Living Center of Charlotte. The preachers are both gay and the congregation is mixed. However, it is not a Christian church and focuses on many ideas in "The Secret" using Religious Science. Try MCC first and let me know what you think.

I have been trying to find a church that would accept me for who I am and wouldn't look down on my sexuality. If you still utilize this blog, would you mind sharing any additional info you have come across with respect to gay friendly churches in the area? The search has been so tough because I can't find everything I want...but I refuse to go to a Southern Baptist church again--I did that for 18 years and I'm over it :) Thanks again!
