Pride & Inclusion

Celebrating God’s Love for All

You Are Welcome Here

The Episcopal Diocese of Utah affirms the dignity and belovedness of every person. LGBTQIA+ people are welcomed as full participants in the life of the Church—including worship, leadership, discernment, ministry, and service.

We believe that God’s love is expansive, and we strive to create communities where all people can experience belonging, spiritual growth, and authentic relationships. Whether you are exploring faith for the first time, returning to church after time away, or looking for a congregation that embraces you fully, you are welcome here.

Across the Diocese, congregations are working to foster spaces of hospitality, respect, and inclusion where people can worship, serve, and grow together as followers of Jesus Christ.

Our Public Witness

The Diocese of Utah is committed to demonstrating God’s inclusive love both within the Church and throughout our communities. We believe that public witness is an important expression of our faith and our commitment to human dignity.

Diocesan leaders, clergy, congregations, and lay members regularly participate in Pride celebrations, community events, and partnerships that support LGBTQIA+ individuals and families. Through advocacy, relationship-building, and visible presence, we seek to embody Christ’s message of welcome and reconciliation.

Our commitment to inclusion extends beyond events and statements. It is reflected in parish life, pastoral care, leadership opportunities, and the ongoing work of building communities where all people are respected, valued, and encouraged to share their gifts.

Inclusion in Practice

Inclusion is not simply a belief—it is a commitment that shapes how we live together as the Body of Christ.

Throughout the Diocese, many congregations actively cultivate welcoming environments for LGBTQIA+ people and their families. We encourage those seeking a church home to explore our congregations and connect with communities that reflect the Diocese’s commitment to hospitality and belonging.

Additional resources include:

  • Welcoming congregations throughout the Diocese
  • Camp Tuttle’s inclusion policies and community commitments
  • Diocesan statements, resources, and educational opportunities related to inclusion and belonging
  • Opportunities for congregations to engage in ongoing learning and conversation around hospitality, justice, and community

Together, these efforts help ensure that all people can participate fully in the worship, life, and ministry of the Church.
