Hot Metal has received grant funding specifically to build an intentional community for genderful families! Our vision is for this to be a safe, joyful, connected group of families that together create intergenerational bonds, mutual support, celebration, and resilience.
But more importantly, what is YOUR vision for your genderful family?

SO... IS THIS A CHURCH THING?

Yes and no. This community is built by Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community, a church, but it is not a faith-focused program and does not impose religious belief or practice. It is open to families of all religions and no religion. 

But let's get real, so many of the harms experienced by the LGBTQIA+ community have been caused or reinforced by the Church. So we think the responsibility for repair also rests with the Church. Hot Metal has an established history of inclusive practice and is already shaped by gender-diverse families within our shared life. This is just who we are.

LOOK FOR THE “G”

Getting to know new people in real life and walking into new places can be stressful. Look for a sign with our “G” to know you’re in the right spot.
