LGBTQIA+ Resources

 The mission of BMC is to cultivate an inclusive church and society and to care for the Mennonite and Brethren lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allied community. 

The term “Inclusive Pastor” indicates Mennonite pastors (though not necessarily credentialed and not necessarily currently serving in MC USA) who believe the denomination should fully include and affirm LGBTQIA people in the life of congregations, conferences, and the denomination.

Inclusive Mennonite Pastors is a growing, ever­-evolving community, not a formal organization. There is no official membership list and there is no single, designated spokesperson. All pastors/leaders who identify as “inclusive” define what that means for them within and as a result of their particular social and faith contexts.

Pink Menno  Pink Menno started with a very simple vision that two siblings shared during Christmas of 2008. Wondering what they could do to make the Mennonite Church an open and welcoming place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, they envisioned a sea of people dressed in pink as a sign of support singing hymns together in the middle of the MC USA convention.
