Sanctuary Baptist a great ally

Sanctuary affirms that every person is made in God’s infinitely beautiful, kaleidoscopic, non-binary image, and is glad to be a friend of SW Victoria Pride. We are a group of Jesus-following earth-loving neuro-, gender- and sexually diverse people who explore faith together in mingled joy, doubt, fear, wonder and love.

Sanctuary Baptist has proved itself to be an unflinching ally of the LGBTIQA+ community, and provides a safe and welcoming space to all.
They have provided a space to hold events, have supported us in the formation of our group and have continued to support us in all activities, including assisting us in the grants process for the wings. They are non judgemental, and have openly welcomed us, despite our lack of religious views, into their space.
