Without you,
the body is broken.
Our church certification and enablement platform creates a network of certified DIVINE spaces for our queer siblings to safely explore their faith, wholeness, and hope, in a community where they are loved as they are divinely created.
What is a DIVINE space?
A faith community that does more than wave a rainbow flag. It commits to the real work of becoming an authentic, radically welcoming space for our queer family. Not just in word, but in culture, leadership, and love.
A place of fellowship.
Certified churches are publicly listed, visibly marked, and accountable to measurable standards of inclusion, so no one needs to wonder if they belong.
A place of safety.
Through deep assessment and collective becoming, certified communities are places where queer people are celebrated, integrated, and safe.
A place for the soul.
More than a directory, it’s an invitation to reclaim divinity. A map of sacred places where love, faith, and identity coexist without fear or compromise.
Because until queer people are fully seen, the body is broken.
This is how we make it whole.
The first of its kind.
DIVINE spaces is the first nationwide certification program that gives faith communities the tools to transform into radically affirming sanctuaries for LGBTQ+ people. It’s how churches move from welcome to wholeness, from intention to action.
The first of many.
DIVINE spaces will form a network of 'certified safe' partner communities that stretches across the United States.
The work starts with 10 pioneering faith communities throughout the New York Tr-States who recognize the limitations of siloed church-by-church inclusion.
Why This Matters now.
At 48, I began the journey of undoing my atheism, and the decades of anger I carried toward the church. What I discovered changed everything: It wasn’t God who failed me. It was flawed theology.
A theology that robbed me, and millions of queer souls, of something sacred. Our divine birthright.
Our mission is to create a national movement of DIVINE spaces, starting with 10 DIVINE Founding Partners who feel called to the work of radical inclusion, unconditional love, and deep restoration. But we need your help too.
Only with your financial support, creative spark, and introductions, can we heal the broken Body. Will you join us?
