About GIFT

GIFT is, most importantly, people.

We are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning people (from teens to retirement) together with family members, friends, and other supportive folks.

We are people whose faith is important to us. GIFT is people who have joined together to form an ecumenical Christian organization with headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. We include people from a wide variety of faith backgrounds, and we welcome everyone to join us in our mission.
