Matthew Vines is the Founder and Executive Director of The Reformation Project, and the author of God and the Gay Christian.
Matthew attended Harvard University from 2008 to 2010, then took a leave of absence to research the Bible and same-sex relationships and work toward LGBTQ inclusion in the church. In March 2012, Matthew delivered a compelling case in a speech at a church in his hometown of Wichita, Kansas, calling for acceptance of gay Christians and their marriage relationships. The video went viral, viewed more than a million times on YouTube, leading to a feature story in The New York Times that fall.
In 2013, Matthew launched The Reformation Project, a Bible-based non-profit organization that works to advance LGBTQ inclusion in the church while remaining grounded in a love for God, a love for the Bible, and a love for the church. The Reformation Project hosts a variety of events, including a conference, a Parents in Process group, a Pastors in Process group, and leadership training cohorts.
