Ray Of Hope Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc.
The LGBTQSIAN2ss+ Pride Activities, and Social Events Center of Elmira, NY.
The only Church in Central New York founded and fostered by the GLBTQSIA2ss+ community for 39 years. October 31, 2022 - 39th Anniversary now in our 40th year in Ministry.
We emphasize the Federal Civil Rights Laws,
NYS Dignity For All Students Act, and our Policy Concerning Minors at Events. Our Religious Freedom is essential. Every gain our movement has made has been through the use of the political process. Prayer and Politics do go together. Stonewall was not a parade, it was a protest.
Our Statment of Purpose includes:
"+ Change the world around us by living Gospel principles of social
justice in everything we do, thereby exposing all forms of prejudice, oppression, racism, homophobia, sexism, and misogyny."
The Policy Concerning Minors at Events is a thorough attempt at providing a safe space for all. The Policy Concerning Minors At Events was passed in 1997. It is part of our detailed Policy of Ethics.
