The Skylight Boutique
Dreams and Visions hosts a gender affirming, pay-what-you can thrift store! The Skylight Boutique is a safe place for Queer folks to find fun, affordable clothes and explore identity. The congregation grows from the witness of LGBTQ+ folks. That does not mean you have be LGBTQ+ to attend. This is a place rooted in Queer identity, fully supportive of Queer identity, and reflective of Queer beauty. Skylight Hall, a large gathering space, is used for special events like Queer Christmas, Quiet Pride, and other unique celebrations.
Faith lives go through different seasons. Whether you’re in a time of doubt, exploration, or awakening, you are welcome to bring the fullness of your experience to Dreams and Visions.
This is a progressive Christian community. Here, the Bible is not a rule book to be interpreted literally, but a library of stories from a diversity of times and places, through which God speaks to us.
After worshiping in a variety of locations, the church found their permanent home in a cosy corner of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. There, they’ve created an intimate worship space called the Queer Saints Chapel, where they gather for worship once a month.

Truths
At Dreams and Visions, we try to live these truths:
That there is a spark of the divine in each of us, and we are all, in our diversity, reflections of God.
That difference is a gift, not a problem.
That God’s dream for the world is wider than we can sometimes grasp.
That creation is good and we are called to care for it.
That to be human is to be broken, but wholeness can be found in God.
That Jesus came to bring truth and justice.
That we are called to speak truth and do justice too.
