BALM Ministries is an LGBTQ+ Christian music and healing ministry rooted in the radical love of Jesus. Founded by pioneering songwriter Marsha Stevens Pino, BALM creates sacred space for those who have been told there is no room for them in the church.

Born from the conviction that faith should heal, not harm, BALM uses music, story, and community to proclaim grace, belonging, and spiritual restoration. Through worship, concerts, and shared testimony, we honor gospel roots while welcoming the whole story of LGBTQ+ lives and faith.

As BALM looks toward the future, new voices continue this legacy of courage and compassion—carrying forward a ministry that says to every soul:

Come to the water. There is room for you here.

Justin Ryan will lead the new voices as they continue to grow!
