LGBTS Christian Church: Establishing a “Church Home”
LGBTS Christian Church Inc.: Establishing a ‘church home’
In October 2012, Rev. Ceejay Agbayani headed the formation of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Straight (LGBTS) Christian Church. It envisions to be a sanctuary for those in need of a ‘church home’, so there is always an open door, open mind and hearts policy.

The LGBTS Christian Church brings the Word of God closer to its targeted communities, such as by holding Mass in an MSM-frequented venue in Cubao in Quezon City.

In October 2012, Rev. Ceejay Agbayani headed the formation of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Straight (LGBTS) Christian Church (which was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC on December 7, 2012). “The church was formed by members who are faithful to the mission and vision and goal of the church to serve the LGBTS community in Quezon City,” said Rev. Agbayani, adding that – in fact – the church “was formed after the irreconcilable differences of the members (with) foreign hands (that) wanted to take over the administration of the (older) church without proper consultation. We resisted, and (after the renaming of the church from its old identification), for peace and harmony among those who wanted to stay and continue (what we wanted to achieve), an independent and autonomous church for and by the Filipino LGBTS was formed.”
And what makes this group different from others also existing for the LGBT community? “The LGBTS Christian Church aims to be the safest place for the LGBTS people,” Rev. Agbayani said. “We envisioned for the church to be a sanctuary for those in need of a church home, so we always have an open door, open mind and hearts policy.”
As an “affirming and welcoming church, “the difference, I think, with us is that we are… not messianic church. We do not want to answer all the problems of the world. We only do what the church should do: to provide guidance to all believers, not imposing values but focus instead on experiential learning from the goodness that comes from God. The church must be the place for sinners who are looking for mercy and compassion and love, not a place for moralist and hypocrites,” Rev. Agbayani said.
Like many start-ups, the church also faces challenges – primary among these is “the maintenance of the chapel (particularly) its rentals and bills” since they have to raise at least P11,500 per month. As it is, “there are young LGBTs who stay and live at the chapel, and should we close, where will they go?” Thus, ensuring that the church has a “permanent place is a vital goal of the church,” Rev. Agbayani said.
As future plans, the LGBTS Christian Church is eyeing having a Lenten retreat in Puerto Galera (in Oriental Mindoro – largely considered as a gay mecca during the Holy Week) in March; and on May 5, it will host the annual LGBTS Flores de Mayo. It is also aiming to have cell groups from different cities in Metro Manila for expansion, just as it plans membership in the National Council of Churches in the Philippines.
Interested persons who want to join the LGBTS Christian Church may just attend seven to eight times in all its liturgical and non-liturgical activities within two months or so, for him/her to qualify for confirmation class, and then be inducted to the rite of confirmation on the Sunday immediately after the confirmation class. There are Sunday worship services at 5.ooPM; and Friday bible studies at 7.3oPM.

Transformation of a Gay Christian by Rev.Ceejay
PAGBABAGONG BUHAY
Malaki ang pasalamat ko nang matagpuan ko ang isang church na nagkakalinga sa mga gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender. Nagbukas sa aking isip at nagbago ang aking buhay dahil dito.
Bata pa lang ako, alam ko na na beki na ako, kasi lagi akong inuulit o tinutukso ng mga kaklase ko sa school. Minsan pa nga nakipag suntukan pa ako noong grade 1 ako sa probinsya. Suntok ang panlaban nya, ako naman, sabunot ang panlaban ko.
Masakit kasing tawaging bakla noon kasi hindi pa ako out sa sarili ko.
Malaking tao ako, matangkad kaya kahit tinutukso nila ako, lumalaban ako. Pero iba pa din pala kung tanggap mo ang sarili mo.
Kadalasan ang mga kaibigan ko sa school ay puro babae, hindi ako sumasali sa mga lalaki unless klase namin.
Pumasok ako ng seminary noong 1990 para mapagtakpan ko ang kabaklaan ko. Kasi naniniwala ako kapag pari ka kahit bakla ka hindi ka nila babastusin. Pero lumabas din ako ng Order Friar Minor Conventual noong November 7, 1991, at nag aral na lamang ako sa FEU ng AB Political Science.
Noong 1999, may naimbita sa akin sa isang Bible Study ng mga bading. Doon ko na laman na pwede palang mag aral ng Biblia ang mga beki. Doon ko lang na reconcile ang sexualidad ko at ang aking spiritualidad.
Nang pumasok ako sa Union Theological Seminary noong 2002. Dun ko napatunayan na Homosexuality is not a sin, not a sickness. Doon ko minahal ang sarili, doon ko din tinanggap ang buhay Gay Christian. Ang sarap pala. Walang guilt.
Lalo na nang magkaroon ako ng partner na lalaki noong May 15, 2006. At kinasal kami noong September 14, 2009. Ngayon mag pipitong taon na kami.
Dalangin ko lang na sa Pilipinas na magkaroon ng Same Sex Marriage. I am giving myself 10 years on this advocacy.
Ang pagbabago ng isang Gay Christian ay hind maging straight upang magkaroon ng salvation bagkus ang buhay ng isang Gay Christian ay relasyon niya sa Maykapal. Sabi nga sa John 3:16, “whosoever” kahit sino basta’t manalig lamang kay Jesus ay ikaw ay maliligtas, maging beki man ako.
Ang salvation naman ay hindi nakukuha sa sexualidad kundi sa pakikisalamuhan mo sa iyong kapwa.Huwag mong sabihing mahal mo ang Diyos pero hindi mo naman tanggap ang mga LGBT?
Marami akong nais ipaghayag, sabihin sa aking transformation bilang isang Gay Christian.
Next na lang..
