Mission: GALA (Gay and Lesbian Acceptance) envisions communities which witness that persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities have sacred worth; are fully included, celebrated, and affirmed with their chosen faith traditions. We are dedicated to the celebration of diversity. We are committed to exploring issues of spirituality and justice through dialogue, education, and action. The purpose of GALA is to affirm the dignity and worth of all persons without regard to gender, race, sexual orientation, or religious affiliation. We support and encourage self actualization in an atmosphere of love, understanding, and confidentiality.
Target demographics: gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender members of Community of Christ
Geographic areas served: the United States and Canada
Programs: annual international retreats held in different regions of the United States. We have also published two books - Homosexual Saints and Touched by Grace that through donations have been able to give away to friends and members of Community of Christ in an effort to help broaden their understanding and acceptance of LGBT in Community of Christ.
