Open Table Network A partnership of communities across the UK which welcome & affirm people who are LGBTQIA + anyone who wants to belong in an accepting and loving community.

Come as you are - We are all equally precious to our creator. Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here. We are the Open Table Network (OTN) - a growing and connected partnership of Christian worship communities which welcome and affirm people who are:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer or Questioning, Intersex & Asexual (LGBTQIA)
+ our families, friends & allies. The network has been created by, and for, LGBTQIA+ people. We meet (online at the moment, but usually in person) in inclusive churches, where we find God and each other, and have the time and peace to grow together. Churches don’t always feel ‘safe’ or welcoming to LGBTQIA+ people. But our name, ‘Open Table’ is an open invitation to come in, just as you are, and be with us, in a safe, affirming community. We’re early on in our journey - There aren’t (yet) enough communities to welcome people across the UK. But maybe you, or your church, can help us with that? To find out when and where you can 'come as you are' visit https://opentable.lgbt/our-communities

God created you. Your identity is not sinful. You are beautiful. ✨
