Depending on where you live in the United States, it may be difficult to find a church that voices a specific and enthusiastic welcome to transgender people. 

The good news is that the churches that are doing this work seem to be doing it well. 


A full 96 percent of the transgender people currently involved in a faith community said that they had experienced some form of affirmation — that might include personal support for their trans identity, or it might mean a theological affirmation of their acceptance and belonging. 

Regardless, this statistic shows us that Christians are more than capable of bringing the Good News to people in ways that they can actually experience as good news.
