Amazing Faith Dinner Dialogues

Our first Amazing Faith Dinner

Dialogue was well attended with over 80 people in attendance. People of all faiths and no faith, all spiritualties

and theologies gathered in small groups to share a meal and participate in a moderated discussion using a proven model, evoking deep

exchanges about lived experiences and the role of faith and/or spirituality in their lives. Through exploration and dialogue, participants learn about

the beliefs and traditions of others within an atmosphere of respect and understanding and are empowered

to stand as witnesses for tolerance

and inclusion.

You are invited to join the next dialogue dinner next month.

Come Change your life. Change

the world.

Dinner dialogues will be held on the last Wednesday of the month from

6-8pm.

The September Dialogue Dinner will be held at the Habitat Milwaukee

and sign-ups are available by

clicking here to REGISTER.

Future dinners’ registrations will be available the day following the current and are scheduled to occur on the last Wednesday of each month.

Church Asset Protection “CAP”

2023 Capital Campaign

We are excited to be in the midst our Church Asset Protection campaign, CAP for short, our Capital Campaign fundraiser to help raise funds for repairs, on the church building.



Maybe you worship with us occasionally, or every Sunday. You may participate in or support one of the many programs we provide in the Milwaukee community.

For more than fifty years your support has allowed us to be one of the first LGBTQ+ organizations to own a building. We are proud that with so much support we can also report we own the property free of any mortgage or debt. With this great blessing comes the great responsibility of maintaining the building.

Over the last several years we have been able to replace the HVAC and all but three of the old wooden windows. The inside of the building has been refreshed and all repairs have been completed. Now we find ourselves with many needed repairs to the outside of the building.

Our Church Asset Protection campaign helps raise funds to complete necessary repairs to our building that provides us the foundation to provide these support services. The funds will be used to complete the following:

• The two chimneys need to be removed. A new roof needs to be installed.
• The flat roof in the back of the building is pulling away from the side of the building and needs to be repaired.
• The gutters are original from when they were attached to the city storm sewers and needed to be replaced and the rotting wood behind them repaired.
• The last three wooden windows need to be replaced.
• Lastly, the attic insulation needs to be replaced.

So, how can you help?

• Donate to the campaign
• Donate your time to help complete the repairs.
• Share the campaign with friends and family to help us achieve our goal more quickly.
• Do all 3!

Whichever you choose, your support is meaningful and makes an impact! For your convenience you can make your donation online by clicking on:
