About this Event
Join Transmission Ministry Collective and Oceanside Sanctuary for an evening of storytelling uplifting the experiences of transgender and gender-expansive people with Christian faith and community.
From childhood in the church to theological discovery as an adult; from experiences of rejection to celebrations of unconditional love—come find enlightenment, challenge, and liberation in the stories of your trans siblings in faith.
Proceeds from this all-ages event go towards the work of Transmission Ministry Collective to connect and empower trans people in the context of Christian community and to inspire transformative change within larger communities of faith.
This is a hybrid event, held in person at Oceanside Sanctuary, and with online attendance available via livestream. Doors open at 6:30pm, and storytelling and livestream begins at 7:00pm. Subsidized tickets are available for students and for transgender and gender-expansive attendees. Please see ticket options for more information.
About Transmission Ministry Collective:
TMC was created by and for trans people to grow in faith, support each other, and heal the world. Founded in 2020, we are now made up of more than 450 gender-expansive folks, primarily in the United States but also representing at least 8 other countries. We are committed to creating a space where trans folks have the freedom to explore their faith on their own terms, within a community where they are embraced and celebrated. We offer a safe refuge to those seeking healing from religious trauma, transphobia, and rejection from communities of faith, and we advocate for every trans person’s right to self-identify, access transition-related care, and thrive as their whole and authentic self.
Our programs focus on connection, care, healing, and education. We have an extensive support group program, including a general support group and several affinity groups for people with specific experiences, such as trans folks in middle and elder stages of life, trans people of color, and those exploring their gender identity for the first time. In 2023, we held 182 support group meetings, averaging 3-4 groups per week. Other programs include a 24/7 moderated online community on the Discord platform, a leadership development cohort, and educational programs for churches and faith communities.
Ultimately, our vision is to cultivate the full spectrum of trans flourishing and build toward a world where all are made free.
