Welcoming Congregation
We are an Official Welcoming Congregation
We are a Welcoming Congregation: This Unitarian Universalist community welcomes and celebrates the presence and participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersexed, queer and/or questioning people.

The purpose of being a Welcoming Congregation is to provide an intentionally safe and affirming climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer and/or questioning people to find a spiritual home in community. One responsibility of a Welcoming Congregation is to confront homophobia and heterosexism wherever manifest. Another is to celebrate the diversity of LGBTIQ lives and the richness of LGBTIQ history. Please join us in this transformative mission.
