GLTB Community
We are an Open and Affirming and More Light church—which means we welcome all people to membership and ministry, regardless of sexual orientation. The GLBT group at First United is called UP! - United and Proud. We meet for a monthly Bible Study, plus social activities for UP! members and their families too. We do community-building and advocacy. We are singles, couples, and families with kids. We are long time First United members, and we are new folks just checking us out. Many find First United to be an oasis of welcome after coming from churches that are less open to the gifts of GLTB Christians. We also plan to explore ways to advocacy for full inclusion in our denominations, and in our legal system. For more info, contact Leah Fowler at lfowler@firstunitedoakpark.com.
