AN LGBTQ WELCOMING CONGREGATION

 

UU Ventura is a welcoming Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We affirm and celebrate people who are LGBTQ+, gender non-binary and gender non-conforming. This diversity is welcome in all facets of the church.


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 LGBTQ+  persons throughout all of our programs, including religious education.
  • affirm and celebrate LGBTQ+ issues and history.
  • affirm marriage equality and conduct same-sex weddings.
  • advocate for LGBTQ+ people, promoting justice, freedom, and equality in the larger society. We speak out when the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ people are at stake.
