Homosexuelle und Kirche (HuK)

The Ecumenical Working Group Homosexuals and Church (HuK) in Düsseldorf provides a welcoming space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, and inter* individuals rooted in Christian faith. Held at the community center of the evangelical Immanuel Church on Pionierstraße 61, it fosters an inclusive atmosphere where participants dismantle prejudices and embrace their identities openly. Regular gatherings encourage candid discussions, mutual support, and theological exploration.

Offerings include self-help groups, counseling, and advocacy efforts aimed at full inclusion in church and society. Key highlights are its role as a bridge between queer culture and church traditions, alongside campaigns against discrimination, covering issues like HIV and workplace equality. For those disillusioned by church experiences, HuK serves as a sanctuary of belonging and renewal. It acts as a gateway back into faith communities, promoting a liberating message drawn from scripture and personal spiritual encounters.
