LGBTQ2S+ ToolBox
On December 19, 2021, Trenton United Church Council passed the following motion: “To create a LGBTQ2+ working group
to explore facilitating activities and educational events for Trenton United Church congregation and the wider community”. .
Welcome to the LGBTQ2+ Toolbox Page. This page is designed to be a resource to expand your understanding of the LGBTQ2+ community.
It can be a resource for exploring this part of our society, learning the lingo (definitions) and discovering where we, as members of the United Church of Canada, fit into this cultural mosaic.
Here is what the United Church of Canada has to say:
The United Church affirms that gender and sexuality are gifts of God, and that all persons are made in the image of God. We welcome into full membership and ministry people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The United Church is opposed to discrimination against any person on any basis by which a person is devalued (search “Commitment to Inclusion” on 
United Church Commons (opens in a new tab)).
