We are a community of gay Christian individuals...Each of us has a story to tell... Weaving our voices through the fabric of community... Each of us a common thread...We are more alike than different... More the same than not
ECWR provides safe places for gay Christians to accept their sexuality and reconcile their Christian faith with their sexuality.
If a gay Christian group is what you have been looking for, we welcome you and encourage you to contact us if you'd like more information or would like to get involved.
So if you're asking, can I be a gay Christian? We enthusiastically say Yes! You can be a gay Christian and live authentically before God. We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, nothing else. Not through works, not through law – only through faith.
As gay Christians, we sometimes wrestle with issues surrounding our sexuality. Some faith communities may even shun us because we are different sexually from the majority. ECWR encourages gay Christians to embrace their God-given sexual orientation and to live lives that are fully out and fully affirmed in Christ.
By fostering a supportive community of gay Christian believers, we desire to reunite people, regardless of their sexual orientation, with our friend, Jesus Christ.
The EC-Gay Christian blog is where we will post weekly articles for discussion on various topics related to our cause. Community members can post comments on our weekly articles.
The EC Community Forum is YOUR forum where you can introduce yourselves and get to know members of our community! Feel free to post a message, tell your story, share some insights, connect with others!

EVANGELICALS is our first name. It's been our first name since Evangelicals Concerned was founded in 1975.
