Why Support

Queer and trans Latine people, deserve to live fully and be celebrated in our sacred truth. But today, our communities live at the intersection of multiple threats. Many of us experience constant fear of state violence, deportation, and discrimination. Simultaneously, we also carry profound wounds from faith and family spaces that should have offered us refuge, but instead shamed us and demanded we hide parts of ourselves to be accepted

In this reality, a loving, spiritual home is a life-sustaining necessity. Join us in making this sacred work possible.

Your support helps us:

Offer material support to those most at risk, including help with rent, food, transportation, and legal fees.
Provide safe spaces for worship, collective healing, and spiritual reclamation, both in-person and virtually.
Accompany people in times of crisis.

Our Impact

Ministerio Latino is the only Spanish-speaking, queer-led United Church of Christ (UCC) congregation in California. Your support helps us offer radical welcome, practical aid, and spaces of healing for people who need it most.
