LGBTQIA+ clergy carry something remarkable: the call to serve, to preach, and to pastor often in the face of rejection, exclusion, and harm from the very institutions that shaped them. They deserve a space where they're simply honored for who they are and the sacred work they do.

​

That's exactly what LOVEboldly's LGBTQIA+ Clergy Appreciation Luncheon is all about.

​

On October 10, 2026, we'll gather to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ clergy of Ohio, their courage, their faithfulness, and the communities they've built and sustained. We want every clergy person who needs this space to be able to walk through the door without cost as a barrier.

​

With a goal of $2,500, your gift helps make this event free and fully accessible to attendees. Every dollar goes toward honoring the people who've given so much to others.

 

More details about the luncheon, including location, honorees, and how to register, will be shared this summer. For now, we're inviting you to be part of making it possible.
