the most extravagant way to worship God!
What is Drag Church?
Drag Church is a celebration of the diversity of God’s creation, where all people, including members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and straight folks, come together in a church setting to celebrate God's radical love. It provides a nonjudgmental sacred space for people to express themselves proudly. through drag performances and other creative expressions of spirituality.
Those who historically feel rejected by the Church can find comfort and affirmation in a Drag Church service, where they can finally feel seen and heard. It's not just about the extravagance, but the community that it creates. Worship in drag is permission-granting, encouraging individuals to be their authentic selves, exactly as God intended them to be.
Marge preaches with a confident assurance of the transformative power of Drag Church. It's where we reimagine what it means to be in community with one another, and with God's help, we become the change we desire. In a world where "normative society" can often dim the light of those who shine brightly, adding glitter and a touch of campiness to the traditional church service might be exactly what we need to remind us of the beauty of diversity and God's infinite love for all.

“Preacher, activist, and drag queen, Marge Erin Johnson, joins us this week to kick off Pride and talk about the ways God loves every single part of us. She shares this depth of grace we receive when we enter a sanctuary for Drag Church, because it offers the message that you are welcome exactly as you are.” — Rev. Kelsey Beebe
