Our Mission and Vision

Mission

Pride in the Pews mobilizes Black-serving anchor institutions to advocate for the holistic health and wellness of Black LGBTQ+ communities.

Pride in the Pews is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, not a church or ministry. While we collaborate with faith-based institutions, our mission is centered on advocacy, education, and the holistic well-being of Black LGBTQ+ individuals, promoting justice and institutional change.

Vision

We envision a world where LGBTQ+ communities are embraced by social, civic, and faith-based institutions that insist on our freedom and full flourishing.
