About Ray Of Hope Church
Ray Of Hope Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc. is an independent, Christ-centered congregation located in Elmira, New York, that has served the LGBTQSIA2ss+ community and all people for over 40 years. Founded in 1983, the church explicitly welcomes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, marital statuses, faith backgrounds, and those who are spiritual but not religious. The congregation describes itself as "the church by us, for us, 4 U"—not merely an open and affirming space, but a community made up of and for the very people it serves. Worship services are held both in person at the chapel on West 1st Street and virtually via Skype, with an accessible facility featuring a commercial-grade elevator and a library of over 6,000 holdings.
