I was a General Member of the Public & Became a member and have attended all conferences, written on their forums and received encouragement.

The Gay Christian Network helped me during a very difficult few years as I struggled with my sexuality and my faith. If it hadn't been for them I don't know how I would have got through. When I came out, I lost most of my friends and all my family were thousands of miles away in another country. Through GCN I developed a new set of friends who encouraged me, emailed me, talked to me on the phone and basically befriended a very lonely and confused man. Many of those friends I have since met at the annual conference and this has afforded me the chance to get to know them more and to give something back into their lives. GCN has constantly sort to develop and enhance their involvement with GLBT people of faith and to be an advocate for change in our society. Justin, the guy who started it all, did a brave and courageous thing, and as a result thousands of men and women have been helped in their relationship with others, themselves and with God. It importance of The Gay Christian Network cannot be under estimated.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... ... my life personally and I've seen it in so many other people's lives. Young teens and older men and women...we've all been encouraged to keep going on when often we felt like giving up. We've been loved and found new friends. We've had great teaching.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... ... the annual conference plus the care given to newcomers when they join.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... ... very dedicated and hard workers. They have worked for hours on projects for which they personally got very little return, except knowing they were making a huge difference in the lives of many, many people.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... ... be a support to many more people, especially youth, who are sometimes in life and death situations as they seek to integrate their sexuality & their faith. More Money would allow for more staff, which would allow for a much deeper and wider work.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... ... being able to keep the members feeling cared for when the membership now numbers over 10,000. Also, the financial support they receive could very much do with increasing.
I was a Client Served & I have been greatly served by this orginization.

GCN is the most amazing orginization. It truly cultivates a non-judging and Christ centered atmosphere where GLBT or questioning people who wish to live Christian lives can find fellowship with each other. They provide excellent programs such as "Through Our Eyes" dvd program or weekly GCN radio podcasts. They are focused on helping achieve spiritual growth. I felt very alone after my chruch rejected me 15 years ago and I thank God every day for leading me to GCN. I have re-dedicated my life to God and am focusing on his plans for me and how I can use my life to serve him every day.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... my own personal life. They show God's love to everyone.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... that regardless of your view point on homosexuality and faith, your denomination, etc . . .they don't take sides. They focus on being Christ like and showing God's love.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... All the volunteers and staff members I have communicated and delt with have been very proffessional and loving and caring and supported GCN's mission.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Do amazing things to build bridges and get down on a more local level to help local churches and gay christians interact and understand each other better.
Ways to make it better!
- My experience would have been better if... I had found GCN sooner!
- If I ran this organization, I would... Try to raise money and do a program similar to "Bridging The Gap" to help bridge the gap and start the dialouge between local churches and how they view, treat and interact with gay people in their churches and communities.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Funding to grow and have more resources to reach the people who desperatly need their help and love.
- One thing I'd also say is that... Justin is an awesome inspiration and I thank God for him and GCN every day.
I am trying to understand something where in the bible does it say that it is ok to be gay and be apart of christianity. The bible does not allow homosexuality get it together but guess what it is not my job to judge you all of you have to answer to God and I am going to be there to see how you explain it how does this homosexuality go hand in hand with the sinners prayer? I was just wondering I dont knock you guys and gals but when you bring God into the sin that you are doing that is not right. I will be praying for all of you. Be blessed and learn the sinner's prayer and turn from your wicked ways.

- If I ran this organization, I would... probably mess it up.
GCN has been a life saver for me. Without GCN I don't think I would have been able to reconcile my faith and sexuality. The community continues to give me lots of support
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... my own life and in the lives of other Christians. People come feeling very alone and conflicted. Through GCN they are able to ask tough questions and find other people who think like them.
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... the community. It is a diverse group of people who participate on the message boards. When I have attended gatherings I have really enjoyed meeting people and have face-to-face conversation.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... helping everyone stay connected. With such a large number of members with very diverse needs, it is hard to help everyone feel a part of the community.
