The Reverend Stan J. Sloan began serving as the Managing Director of Collegiate Church of New York in December of 2020, having most recently served as the Senior Strategist for Auburn Seminary. Prior to his time at Auburn and Collegiate, Sloan served as the CEO of Family Equality, the nation’s organization for LGBTQ families and for those who want to form families.

Preceding his work at Family Equality, Sloan was the longest-serving CEO in the history of Chicago House, a homeless service organization for LGBTQ people. During his time at Chicago House, the organization pioneered the TransLife Center, which at the time of its opening in 2008 provided the nation’s most comprehensive services for the Transgender community. Sloan also worked with national partners on issues of Queer Poverty, leading Congressional briefings and working with the Executive Agencies on policy equity.

Stan is an Episcopal priest and currently serves on several Boards including Union Theological in New York City and the Borderland Rainbow Center in El Paso. For over ten years Stan served as the Chaplain of St. Gregory’s Episcopal School, a center-city school serving K-8 for which he was also a board member. In 2006, he was presented with the Human Relations Award by the Chicago Commission on Human Relations for his work in the LGBT, homeless, and religious communities. In 2010 he was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame. In 2019 Sloan was named as one of the Out 100 LGBTQ leaders in the nation by Out Magazine, and in 2020 was named as one of the Pride Power 100 of the State of New York by City and State New York.

New to the New York City area in 2016, Sloan now splits his time between New York City and El Paso, Texas, where his husband, Jan Lopes, is completing his cardiology fellowship.
