👋 If you randomly found this page while searching Google… welcome! We’re Nate & Shelby Hanson and we host a podcast and community for those who are deconstructing or changing in their relationship to God, the Bible and church. (You can listen to the show here! or with the sample below.)
One of the most frequent questions we receive is “Do you know of any progressive Christian churches near me?” Many listeners of Almost Heretical are deconstructing christianity yet still want to attend church. Many others do not want to attend church at this time or ever again. It can be so hard to find a church within progressive Christianity that meets really important requirements like being LGBTQ+ affirming, having women in leadership and being open to doubt and disbelief. We wanted to provide an ever-growing list of progressive churches that listeners have attended that might be a good fit for you.
Note: This is not a personal endorsement from Nate & Shelby for any of these churches. Please let us know if any of these churches shouldn’t be on this list or should have a star!
Churches with a ⭐ are churches that support deconstruction, questioning and disbelief.
