There are many, many ex-evangelicals at Brentwood, including the pastor, Phil Snider. If you contact him, I bet he would know where to direct you to find like-minded folks.

I've met him. His church and a few of the other Progressive churches are the few that do homeless Outreach or used to. I attended a few services hosted by him at the venues and it was the chillest thing I have ever seen for a church service I swear to god. Unlike anything I grew up with. Unlike the kind of church where everybody turns around and watches you walk in, they're used to people just kind of dropping in and out to check it out or have a cup of coffee and leave. LOL

I echo this recommendation. Phil Snider is a great guy and could definitely help here.

He is a wonderful guy, and a fantastic ally. He also briefly went viral the first go-around of the non-discrimination ordinance in 2012. There's a Buzzfeed article about him.
