Who We Are

The European Forum of LGBTI+ Christian Groups is led by a dedicated six-member Board, elected by our member organisations. Alongside the Board, we’re sometimes supported by staff and collaborators who assist with the Forum’s day-to-day work. Together, this team brings a range of perspectives and skills that reflect the diversity and unity of our network — all working toward our mission of promoting inclusion, equality, and human rights within Christian communities across Europe.
