At St. Paul United Church of Christ, we believe in love, acceptance, and the divine spirit that connects us all. Our doors are open wide to everyone, regardless of who you are or whom you love.
As a church, we’re more than just LGBTQIA+ friendly; we’re affirming, celebrating, and standing side by side with our LGBTQIA+ siblings in their journey of faith and self-expression.
Our commitment isn’t just in words. Our pastor, an out-and-proud lesbian, not only leads our congregation with grace and love but also actively champions LGBTQIA+ rights and inclusivity.
No matter your gender identity or expression, God’s door is open to all His children. His love welcomes, embraces, and calls each of us to come as we are.
Every June, our church grounds brim with colors, laughter, and love as we host Pride events, creating a space for the community to come together, celebrate, and find spiritual nourishment. And when October arrives, you’ll find us, with banners held high, taking part in the Pride Parade and Block Party, marching for love, acceptance, and unity.
We hold a special place in our hearts for the trans community, celebrating their courage and individuality. At St. Paul United Church of Christ, we’re honored to bear witness to love in all its forms, joyfully officiating weddings for LGBTQIA+ couples.
So, if you’re seeking a spiritual home where you can be your authentic self, know that St. Paul United Church of Christ is waiting for you with open arms. Here, you’re not just welcome; you’re celebrated.
