Here's a list of LGBT friendly Episcopal churches in the Bay Area. The ones with an asterisk support Oasis California programs and projects actively and are our "Covenant Congregations." Congregations without an asterisk are LGBT welcoming churches that have asked to be listed here. You and your family will be welcome and feel at home in these congregations. Many other Episcopal churches also welcome LGBT folks but are not listed here - for a full list of Episcopal parishes in the Diocese of California please visit the Directory of Congregations at diocal.org.
 

East Bay

Marin County

 

Peninsula

San Francisco

Send us an e-mail if you want to talk with us for help finding a welcoming church near you.
 

Once again:
Oasis Covenant Congregations (designated above with an asterisk) have completed an intentional process of reflection and education, signed a public affirmation of commitment to glbt people, participate in programs and actions that advance and fulfill the mission of Oasis/California, and typically provide financial support for Oasis/California's ministry.
 

LGBT-Friendly Congregations are other congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of California that have self-identified as glbt-friendly. The rectors/vicars of such congregations have asked that their communities of faith be listed as inclusive, welcoming places.

 

 Visit www.diocal.org to learn more about these congregations.

Petition to Win Marriage Back

EQCA is already crunching numbers and doing extensive research to determine what election and what ballot language would give us the best chance to win marriage back.

We need to have a grassroots army ready to hit the streets if we are unsuccessful in court. 

 

Thank you to all who have already signed up to carry petitions to qualify a new initiative to win marriage back. If you haven’t already, sign the petition now at www.eqca.org/petition. And please forward this call to action on to everyone you know.
