Cathedral of Hope is an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ. We practice extravagant welcome and many queer woman , gay, bisexual, trans person folk have establish their spiritual house here. It is said that CoH is the largest open and affirming congregation in the world.
As Christians, we profess that we are created in the image of God. In this image, we build a lifelong journey toward deeper faith, faithfulness, and wholeness. As a church, we seek continually to integrate God’s ongoing revelation with new knowledge and understandings of our lives and times. In our religious life and awareness, we seek to equip the devoted for this journey in all its possibilities.

The Dallas LGBTQ+ people thrives as one of the largest in the nation. The greater Dallas metro area has the largest number of LGBTQ+ people in Texas (211,000) and the sixth-largest in the Together States.
Though gender non-conforming people have settled all across the North Texas region, the Oak Lawn/Cedar Springs neighborhood continues to be the entertainment, business, and residential epicenter for LGBTQ+ locals and a top visitor attraction. It’s the home to multiple bars, clubs, retailers, restaurants, and other gathering places, includingThe Round-Up Saloon (one of the foremost LGBTQ+ country-western bars in the world) and Sue Ellen’s (Texas’ oldest womxn loving womxn bar and one of the limited remaining in the nation). Named the “Best Gayborhood” by OUT Magazine in 2014, the district also boasts the headquarters of the North Texas LGBT Chamber of Commerce, an organization whose mission is to foster an inclusive business community.

Church in the Cliff is part of the Alliance of Baptists.
The Alliance of Baptists began in 1987 as a prophetic voice in Baptist life in the southern U.S. Today, we are a faith community comprised of laity and clergy, people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, racial and ethnic backgrounds, geographical locations, theological beliefs, and ministry practices. We are about 4,500 individual members, roughly 140 congregations, with 36 ministry partners knit together by love for one another and God, combining linear inquiry, contemplative prayer and prophetic action to bring about justice and healing in a modifying world.
The founders of the Alliance drafted a covenantthat has been our guidepost for 33 years. Ten years later our mission was added giving shape to our emerging witness. Grounded by the covenant and mission, we have advanced in our ecumenical and interfaith relationships, and in the full inclusion of women and the LGBTQ community in the life and ministry of the church. Our covenant and mission have served as the foundation for our global partnerships, as well as our ecumenical relationships which enlarge our prophetic voice for justice and love.
