welcome
가장 퀴어한 모습으로 우리에게 오신 하나님께서 여러분을 기다립니다. 하나님께서 창조하신 모습 그대로 인정받고, 축하하고, 사랑 받을 수 있는 기쁨을 함께 누리길 소망합니다.
God, who came to us in the queerest form, is waiting for you! Come, and enjoy the joy of being affirmed, celebrated, and loved by other children of God.
about the project
크레파스 프로젝트는 성소수자들과, 친구, 가족, 얼라이들이 함께하는 신앙 공동체입니다. 성적 취향이나 정체성에 상관없이 누구나 환영입니다. 아웃했든 아니든, 사이드 A이든 B이든, 스스로를 어떻게 정의하든 크레파스에서는 축복 받는 가족입니다.
2019년 9월 8일 세워진 크레파스 공동체는 하나님의 모든 아이들을 환영합니다. 모든 지체들를 있는 그대로 인정하고 품습니다. 성서와 교회 전통에 녹아 있는 퀴어함을 노래합니다.
Krepas Project is an ecumenical faith community of sexual minorities and their friends, family, and allies, found by Andrew and Hyunwoo on September 8, 2019. You are welcome here regardless of your sexual orientation, gender identity, expression. It doesn’t matter if you are out or not, if you are side A or B, or how you define yourself; you are in a blessed family.
We welcome all God's children. We affirm all bodies & souls. We celebrate the queerness in sacred texts & traditions.
