PRIDE @PARKRIDGEPRESBY
At Park Ridge Presbyterian Church we believe in the full acceptance and celebration of all God’s children. We believe God is love, created each of us out of that love, and created us for love. We fully accept and celebrate all the ways God’s love shows up in our relationships.
To say it another way,
God loves gay people. God loves bi people. God loves trans people. God loves non-binary people. God loves all LGBTQIA+ people and the unique and perfect ways they express their love and God’s goodness.

Sunday, June 9 – Special Offering – PC(USA) Pentecost Offering Collected
The Pentecost Offering is collected each year to support at-risk kids and teenagers. Each year 40% of the offering is given to a local agency. Since LGBTQ+ young people are disproportionately at risk, the Mission Committee has decided that this portion of the offering will benefit an agency that supports at-risk LGBTQ+ Youth & Young Adults.
