We’re working toward the full participation of LGBTQIA+ people in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA) – and in society.

MLP’s work is about pointing towards a particular way of operating in Christian communities with God’s abundance at the center of all we do and who we are.

Who We Are:

More Light Presbyterians engages over 230 congregations and thousands of individuals in the Presbyterian Church (USA), enabling Presbyterians to lead LGBTQIA+ service and advocacy in communities nationwide. More Light’s mission has always been to empower and equip individuals and congregations to live into their welcome for LGBTQIA+ people.

Our Mission Statement:

Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make the Church a true community of hospitality, the mission of More Light Presbyterians is to work for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and in society.

Over the last several months More Light Presbyterians has made some significant announcements about recent shifts in our organization. While change is hard, it can lead to new opportunities for growth.  The More Light Board of Directors will take the beginning of this transition for Sabbath and discernment in the new year.  Our commitments to LGBTQAI+ flourishing and anti-racism in the PC(USA) and the world remain at the center of our work together.

For updates about the status of this transition, please see our blog.
