Walk With Us: BIUMC at the 45th Stonewall Columbus Pride Parade

Every person is beloved. Every person belongs. Come march with your church family and show Columbus who we are.

At Bethel International, we believe the doors of the church are wide open — not cracked, not conditional, but wide open — to every person made in the image of God. The Pride parade is one of the most visible ways we can live that out together, walking side by side with our LGBTQ+ neighbors, friends, and family members to say: you are seen, you are valued, and you are welcome here.

This year marks the 45th Stonewall Columbus Pride Parade, and we'd love for you to march with us. Whether you've walked with us before or this is the first time you're considering it, there's a place for you in our group. Bring your whole self. Bring your family. Bring a friend who needs to see what a church that loves without exception looks like.
