We support congregations of the United Church of Christ that are seeking ways to welcome LGBTQ2S+ people into their community. The Open and Affirming Coalition of the United Church of Christ equips UCC congregations to become effective witnesses to Christ's extravagant welcome. The Coalition's Open and Affirming (ONA) program supports congregations, denominational entities, and non-church entities to expand their welcome, advocate for LGBTQ2S+ rights, and strive to operate as safe havens for historically marginalized groups. This programming is done through webinars, workshops, training, consultation, and offered resources. In 2023, the Coalition certified over 50 UCC churches as Open and Affirming. Both a summer and a fall webinar series were offered in 2023. In 2023 we held webinars, book group discussions and on-line interviews and podcasts. The executive director made multiple trips to visit churches and made presentations around the country at several national and local events. 0 81885 The Open and Affirming Coalition participated in the General Synod of the United Church of Christ.
