Welcome to Middle Church
Middle Church is a multicultural, multiethnic, intergenerational movement of Spirit and justice, powered by fierce, revolutionary Love, with room for all. We are an LGBTQ affirming church in NYC, committed to healing souls and the world by dismantling racist, classist, sexist, ethnocentrist, ableist, and cisheterosexist systems of oppression.

Freedom Rising Conference
Love & Liberation, Now
Our 20th annual gathering of activists, artists, organizers, faith leaders, thinkers, and community members exploring how we build a more just, loving, and liberated world.
Join us October 23–25 in New York City or online for three days of conversation, storytelling, art, organizing, spiritual practice, and connection. Come share, learn, connect, and reconnect, as we imagine what’s possible next, together.
Freedom Rising: Love & Liberation NOW
In a context in which far too often, faith is hijacked to serve empire; when hope can be elusive: where do we go from here? How do people of good will and moral courage find their footing, sustain relationships, and build movements rooted in love and liberation? Join a convening of artists, activists, authors and good-trouble-agitators, all working to build a more just society with spirituality justice and the arts.
