We are a Welcoming Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. This means we affirm and include people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer at every level of congregational life—in worship, in program, and in social occasions—welcoming them as whole 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’s always something more to learn, and remain open to deepening our understanding about the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.

 

We Support:

PFLAG SANTA CLARITA (PFLAG SCV)

We are here to provide you with support and information about our LBGTQ community.  We invite you to join us on the fourth Wednesday of each month, when we get together to listen, share experiences, and help with any issues you may be experiencing.  You can share as much or as little as you like or you can come just to listen.

The SCV LGBTQ Center

Our mission at the Santa Clarita Valley Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Center is to provide services, safe spaces, and an important sense of community for the underserved LGBTQ population as well as other minority groups that deserve community, love, and allyship.

Queer SCV

The purpose of Queer SCV is to reduce social isolation by stimulating community development through the creation of inclusive, intersectional events and spaces for the LGBTQ+ population in Santa Clarita Valley.
