Queer Spirit Church

Welcome to Queer Spirit Church

Come, just as you are!

Join us on Sunday mornings for our regular service at 10:30 am – while Queer Spirit Church is on pause. We hope to create a safe and welcoming community for people to worship, learn, and grow in their faith journey. Queer Spirit Church welcomes all people to experience God’s enduring love through music, prayer, scripture reflections  and communion. Be you, be queer, be queer allied, be here and be loved!

FBCH has been a loving and accepting place for me and my late husband Lorne, and singing in the senior choir is always a joy under Lynette's leadership. I love the various levels of musical styles in the repertoire which keeps the choir challenged and motivated.

When I consider the future, it is my hope that the church that has been my spiritual home since before I was born and that has helped shape the person who I have become will continue to be there to positively influence and guide me as I continue on life’s journey.
