“Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you for the glory of God.”

~ Romans 15:7

The Presbyterian Church in Canada affirms that all people whatever their sexual orientation or gender identity are equally beloved by God. 

In 2022, we adopted a confession to God and LGBTQ+ people, confessing the harm caused by homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism and hypocrisy in The Presbyterian Church in Canada, and committing the church to a true change of heart and behaviour. The whole church is called to live out this confession as individuals and communities of faith so that harm does not continue.
