Our Commitment to Inclusivity

At King Avenue Church, we proudly identify as a Reconciling Congregation within the United Methodist Church (UMC). We firmly believe in the importance of inclusivity and welcome individuals from all walks of life, including the LGBTQ+ community.

UMC Status and Our Mission

As a Reconciling Congregation, we understand the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community within the UMC. We are actively working towards a more inclusive church culture and advocating for equal rights for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

We recognize that our journey towards inclusivity is ongoing. While the UMC has historically held differing views on LGBTQ+ inclusion, we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a safe and loving environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

Creating a Welcoming Space

At King Avenue Church, we strive to create a welcoming space where everyone feels accepted and celebrated. Our faith calls us to love one another as equals and to treat every person with dignity and respect.

Through our LGBTQ+ Ministry, we provide support, education, and resources for individuals within the community. We host events, support groups, and educational workshops to foster inclusivity, understanding, and dialogue.

Engaging with the Community

Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond our church walls. We actively engage with the broader LGBTQ+ community and partner with local organizations to promote equality and justice.

Through volunteer efforts, fundraising initiatives, and participation in pride events, we aim to make a positive impact in the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals and their families. We believe in standing up for what is right and working towards a more equal society.

Support and Resources

If you are seeking support or resources as an LGBTQ+ individual, King Avenue Church is here for you. Our dedicated LGBTQ+ Ministry team is available to offer guidance, support, and a listening ear.

We also provide resources and referrals to external organizations that specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, mental health support, and more. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels supported and connected within their journey of faith and self-discovery.

Join Our Inclusive Community

If you are searching for a faith community that embraces diversity and works towards justice, we invite you to join us at King Avenue Church. No matter who you are or where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Together, let us create a world where love knows no boundaries, and where all individuals can fully express their identity and spirituality without fear or judgment. At King Avenue Church, we believe in the power of love to transform lives and communities.
