LGBTQIA+

Sunday, July 13 - Pride in Bellingham: As an Open and Affirming Congregation we celebrate our diverse community and support our LGBTQ+ folks. We will be walking in the Pride Parade.

We are having First Congregational Church Pride T shirts printed locally at Iron Street Printing.

We are registered to walk in the parade and represent First Congregational Church as a place of love and affirmation. We’re in this together!

First Congregational Church UCC has joined with Garden Street UMC to “adopt a block” for 2025 Youth Pride.

The UPLIFT chapter at Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship (BUF) invites us to a six-session course on Transgender Inclusion in Congregations. UPLIFT is a national religious organization of the Unitarian Universalist Association, supporting and advocating for LGBTQIA+ people. We work to ensure that our congregation welcomes and incorporates queer people in all aspects of congregational life, and we work to improve the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in Whatcom County.
