Every Sunday, this underground congregation gathers safely to worship, united in faith and identity. Many of its members sought refuge from neighboring countries where L.G.B.T.Q. identities face lethal repercussions. During services, pastors highlight the significance of belonging, speaking directly to the struggles the congregation faces, including rejection from family and society.
With attendance ranging from 50 to 200 worshipers, the church has become a vital support system for those who often feel entirely isolated. As they gather in this hidden sanctuary, they find both comfort in their faith and the resilience to embrace their identities in a world that frequently denies them safety and acceptance.
