Lower Mainland United Churches of Canada Pride Cluster

Who we are

Trinity-Grace United Church is a proud Affirming congregation, and marching in the Vancouver Pride Parade is one of the most joyful expressions of who we are. We believe every person is created in God's image and belongs fully in our community — exactly as they are.

For us, Pride isn't a once-a-year gesture. It flows from our year-round commitment to LGBTQ2SIA+ inclusion, justice, and welcome, alongside our partners in Affirm United. When we gather under our rainbow banner each summer, we're celebrating God's expansive love made visible in the streets of our city.

Whoever you are, and wherever you are on your journey, there's a place for you in our group. Allies, families, and first-timers are all warmly welcome to walk with us.

*Be present: This is our first time engaging as a cluster in these marches, and for now, that's exactly the point — to simply be there with the community. Being there means showing up, being present with one another, and getting to know the community around us. It's easier to find each other if you wear a Pride t-shirt ! As we go, we'll learn more about how we might get more involved in the years ahead.
