Affirming the dignity and full humanity of all people

Now in its second year, Valley Pride is a growing, inclusive celebration that brings together people of all ages for a joyful mix of education, celebration, and connection. The event includes speakers, films, a resource fair, and opportunities to learn and stand in solidarity with the local LGBTIQ+ community.

Valley Pride reflects the commitment to justice, inclusion, and radical welcome. Through education, inclusion, and advocacy, Danville Congregational Church remains committed to creating safe and welcoming spaces for LGBTIQ+ individuals and their families — within the church and in the wider world.
