queer black men

Middle Church offers a Queer Black Men community group that redefines the intersectionality of Black gay spirituality and experience. Their mission is to unconditionally love, affirm, and support queer Black men through honest dialogue and thought-provoking content, fostering a renewed commitment to themselves and their community. For more information or to join, please email Keith Allen at queerblackmen@gmail.com.

The group meets bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm.

Throughout the year, the Queer Black Men group collaborates with other LGBTQIA+ ministries at Middle Church, such as Queer Connections, to host events like the Queer Art is Justice variety show and political resource fair. These events celebrate queer identity and expression, providing opportunities for community performance, art, and celebration.

For more information on queer ministries at Middle Church, please email Elise Tiralli.

We believe in the power of Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
