We are a Welcoming Congregation, recognized as such in June 2018 by the Unitarian Universalist Association.  This means that we affirm and include people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer in all forms of congregational life – worship, programs, social occasions, social justice work – as we welcome all 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 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons throughout all of our programs, including religious education
• Affirm and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer issues and history
• Affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings
• Advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and  queer people, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society.  We speak out when the rights and dignity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people are at stake.

We recognize that there is always more to learn and do, and remain open to deepening our understanding about the lives of LGBTQ people.

We welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and doubts, your worries and your hopes.  Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith!
