We are an LGBTQ Welcoming CongregationWe are recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association as a Welcoming Congregation. This means we affirm and include people of all sexual orientations and gender identities – in worship, in program, and in social occasions – welcoming them as whole people.

As a Welcoming Congregation we have pledged to:

  • honor the lives of all people and equally affirm displays of caring and affection without regard for sexual orientation.
  • celebrate diversity by using inclusive language and content in worship.
  • incorporate an understanding of the experience of the queer community throughout all of our programs, including religious education.
  • affirm and celebrate the queer culture including current issues and history.
  • affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.
  • advocate for all members of the queer community by, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society. We speak out when the rights and dignity of queer persons are at stake.

We recognize that there’s always something more to learn, and remain open to deepening our understanding about the lives of those who are members of the queer community.
