Queering Faith 9.0 with The Many

Come join us for an evening of music, reflection, and community at Community United Church of Christ in Champaign, IL, USA, brought to you by UCC Campus Ministry at UIUC. The Many will lead us in a celebration of faith and inclusivity. Let's come together to explore how our diverse identities intersect with our spirituality through music. All are welcome to this event that celebrates the beauty of being true to oneself. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences and beliefs. See you there!


About the Event

In a world where trans and queer individuals are too often met with hostility in the name of religion, Community United Church of Christ and UCC Campus Ministry are creating a sanctuary for peace, love, and reconciliation.

Join us for the 9th Queering Faith event featuring The Many—a creative collective making music and new kinds of inclusive, justice-building gatherings that offer space for faith and doubt, lament and gratitude. The feet-on-the-ground, heart-in-hands songs and liturgies they create remind us we aren’t alone. And they help us find the courage to authentically love God, ourselves, and everyone in this whole, aching world.


Event Highlights:

  • Keynote Performance: The Many
  • Q&A Session: Engage with The Many and explore your own questions about faith and identity.

Why Attend?

If you’ve ever felt excluded or harmed by religion because of your identity, this event is an opportunity to experience an affirming community that celebrates you as a beloved child of God.

We seek to make this session accessible to all. Here’s the ticket prices:

  • Free for Students
  • $15 General Admission
  • $25 Sustainer Ticket
  • $50 Superhero Ticket

Proceeds ensure the continuation of these life-giving, LGBTQIA-affirming events and gatherings through UCC Campus Ministry, a progressive Christian campus ministry community that holds sacred space for students to explore the big questions of faith and to serve each other and the wider community.


History of the Event

Since 2018, UCC Campus Ministry has partnered with Community United Church of Christ to offer Queering Faith, an annual event showcasing writers, artists, activists, and people of faith who share their experiences and offer inspiration for living out their faith through a queer perspective, whether that is their own sexuality, gender identity, their art, their community, or their call to service.


Let’s gather to reimagine faith as a force for healing and justice!
