Renovus (latin):

to renew, to renovate, to restore and make things right.

Connect LGBTQ+ individuals to reclaim and develop their relationship with Jesus.

We exist to

A world where no one has to choose between their faith and sexual orientation or gender identity.

We envision

That Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God; that He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and raised from the dead; and that through Him, salvation is extended to all by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

We believe

We offer

  • Events: Everything from social to educational

  • Groups: Weekly gatherings and studies, in homes and remote

  • Resources: Trusted counselors, churches, organizations and materials

What We Offer

    Join us for these special nights, where we gather for an evening of acoustic worship and community! Experience a laid-back atmosphere filled with heartfelt music, communion, and a brief, uplifting message. Whether you're seeking community or a moment of reflection, this night is for you.

  • Groups

    Connect with a small group of individuals gathering to deepen their faith and do life together. We have several Home Groups across Atlanta, and Remote Groups for those wanting to stay connected virtually.

  • Volunteer

    Get involved with Renovus and join a Volunteer Leadership Committee. Whether you are good at bringing people together in a fun environment, good at finding individuals to help financially or good at spreading the word about Renovus, we have the right committee for you.

  • Events

    Renovus events are a great way to learn about us and connect with our community. From special events to social gatherings, you are always welcome and we’d love to meet you!

You are not alone.

Sure, you may feel that way right now—especially if you haven’t found a community who accepts all of you. But the truth is countless LGBTQ+ Christians are experiencing life, faith and community together. Skeptical? Yep, we used to be too. But community is possible, and happening. Many stories attest. Join us. 

Stories

And watch some of our stories below. We hope you will relate.

Daniel (he/him)

“I was able to, for the first time, have both parts of my life come together… faith and spirituality and also my sexuality.”

Wes(he/him)

“I was able to connect on a much deeper level with God and in my walk with Christ...and that just grew from the process of thinking I was bisexual to realizing I was gay.”

Nikki(she/her)

"[With Renovus], I have found that table to be able to bring questions and doubts and concerns – being in a community of others that have similar stories or similar experiences."

Kellie (she/her)

"I'd never been around Christian people that had no judgment, no anything. And they took me in, and I'm blown away by my introduction back into my faith...I don't know where I would be without Renovus and the people of Renovus that supported me."

Sebastian (he/him)

“I needed someone to know Sebastian for who he was and for so long that was the biggest fear of mine, that I would be completely known yet completely rejected.”

Lacey (she/they)

"I realized that faith is more than just a church body...you can find your church within a community. And I started to find my community, find my church, and through that I now currently have the strongest faith I've ever had."

Cortland (he/him)

“I felt like there was always some unanswered question when it came to faith for me, having grown up in a household where faith really wasn’t a part of our lives.”
