Queer Clergy Caucus

We’re the Mountain Sky Queer Clergy Caucus.

We exist to be a dynamic support system for Queer clergy and laity in the Mountain Sky Conference. 

We are called to serve, and to lead

We are called to journey with each other as we make disciples of Jesus Christ and be transformed by God's grace. 

This year, especially, we give thanks for the saints who have gone before us- the black trans women, the queer outcasts who marched and shouted until they were heard. 

So, we educate, we advocate, we learn, and we grow by God's grace for a more whole world, together... won't you join us?

Peery's Egyptian Theater

Built in an era of sumptuous movie palaces, this 1924 theater - designed to replicate the courtyard between two Egyptian temples - has been returned to its original elegance. The modern stage house is designed to accommodate live theater, dance, choral, symphonic and multimedia performances as well as film. The theater is now home to a performance series, a film series and is a screening venue for the Sundance Film Festival.

We would like to thank Peery's Egyptian Theater for graciously hosting our onsite team for Annual Conference 2021!
