Qmunity LGBTQIA+

Back in 2016, a small but mighty group of around 15 LGBTQIA+ folks and allies kicked off Qmunity, coming together monthly to share stories, eat (we love our food), plan upcoming events, and lift each other spiritually and socially. Fast forward to today, we've ballooned to a crew of 40 and counting. Throughout the year we coordinate book groups, movie nights, barbecues, social outings, or last-minute get-togethers just to enjoy each other’s company. Our Qmunity members serve in various roles at FBCM, from Staff to Leadership to Ministry Circles. We usually meet on the 4th Sunday of every month, and we would LOVE for you to join us. To learn more about our monthly meetings and upcoming Qmunity events, please email FBCMQMUNITY@gmail.com. We hope to see you soon.

Our Purpose Statement

‍‍

Our LGBTQIA+ Ministry Circle (Qmunity) at FBCM believes that support, outreach, and advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community are part of our call to “do justice and love mercy” (Micah 6:8). We will respond to this call by providing spiritual and social support to one another, and by connecting with others of faith in the LGBTQIA+ community. We, as Queer voices of faith, will continue to work in our church, region, denomination, larger Church body, and beyond for equality and justice for all God’s people- especially those who have left or been kicked out of the Church, or have never been shown that God loves them just as they are, no matter what!

Upcoming Events

‍

First Baptist Church of Moorestown, NJ invites you to Flamy Grant and Heather Mae LIVE in Concert on Saturday, November 1, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Flamy is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, Billboard-Topping, #1 on iTunes, singing-songwriting Christian Drag queen. Her music centers on the Queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma where LGBTQIA+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces.

Heather Mae is a queer, award-winning social justice singer-songwriter and powerhouse vocalist. The driving force behind her growing must-see reputation is her unforgettable live show and roof-lifting vocals. A deftly-timed comic and mesmerizing storyteller, she confidently shepherds audiences through performances that are part concert, part communal catharsis. She is the winner of the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Artist-Activist of the Year award.

The concert is free and open to all ages. To register for tickets on Eventbrite or for more information, please scan the QR Code in the Event Flyer above or use this link- http://bit.ly/4maE2bp
