Jesus’s call to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28:19) necessarily involves his followers in taking the gospel to the transgender community.

 

Because the gospel is God’s power to save and the means by which the Spirit grants new life, we shouldn’t be surprised that some of those to whom we witness will put their trust in Christ and so set foot on the path of Christian discipleship. 

 

The purpose of this paper is to think through what this path may look like for transgender converts to Christianity and how baptism, membership, service, leadership, and communion might best be approached.
