VITUAL NATIONAL ONA GATHERING!
We’ll gather virtually Aug. 5, 6 and 7 for our first National ONA Gathering since 2019! Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate 50 years of LGBTQ+ advocacy in the United Church of Christ, the historic ordinations of Bill Johnson and Anne Holmes—the first openly gay and openly lesbian candidates called to ordained ministry in the UCC, and to renew our commitment to a future of inclusion and advocacy for all of the God’s queer people.
TAKE OUR ONA SURVEY! HOW DOES YOUR CHURCH COMPARE?
Complete this survey, and see how your congregation compares with other ONA churches! If you answer “NO” to some of the questions, don’t worry! Your honest answer just means there are exciting opportunities awaiting your church! Use our Self-Evaluation Tool for ONA Churches and other resources throughout our website to discover new ways to strengthen your ONA commitment! Our goal: a church that’s 100% Open and Affirming!
The Open and Affirming Coalition advocates for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in the United Church of Christ and beyond, and equips UCC congregations to become effective witnesses to Christ’s extravagant welcome. Read more
