LGBTQIA+

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.

Hosted by Transmission Ministry Collective (TMC): As part of our new Church Partnership Program, TMC will be holding a series of online workshops throughout the fall, specifically geared towards churches and faith communities that want to better support their trans community members.
