GIFTS

GIFTS is a gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered community at Marble Collegiate Church that seeks to reconcile spirituality and sexuality through God’s love. By celebrating the common threads between our lives and faith journeys, we embrace our spiritual inheritance. We welcome all who wish to grow and be energized through Christian fellowship and service.

What We Do

We seek to build a community that encourages fun, friendship, healing and service.

Programs:  In our monthly dinner programs, we present a wide variety of well-known authors, inspirational speakers, entertainment and social events.

Small Groups:  GIFTS offers groups in smaller settings in which we explore similar goals and interests.

Retreats:  Once a year, we spend a relaxing weekend away from the city to focus on spiritual growth and making new friends.

Stop by and say hello...
Every Sunday following the worship service, members of GIFTS meet informally in Bay Hall for refreshments. Committee members are there to welcome you and share information about upcoming activities.

We Are a Treasure in Earthen Vessels: Telling Our Stories

Begins Friday, 6pm
Ends Saturday, 2pm


God has blessed each of us with unique experiences -- some keep these stories hidden, others let them bloom. This on-site retreat at Marble offers you the time and freedom to explore your own story in a safe space with others in our LGBT community.

Retreat leader Dr. Kimberleigh Jordan is joined by Rev. Vicki Wunsch, a UCC minister associated with Room for All, and Rev. Melvin Miller, Associate Minister at Ft. Washington Collegiate Church.

We begin the retreat Friday evening, October 1, with fellowship around the dinner table (6pm) and return Saturday, October 2, for morning worship, small group discussion and a workshop on telling our stories. The retreat concludes with lunch (2pm).

Cost $35
(includes Friday dinner; Saturday lunch; and all materials)
