UBC Plans Pridefest Return

​At University Baptist Church, we are excited to announce our return to PrideFest events in 2026!

 We proudly have a booth reserved for Spencer Pride on October 3rd, and we will also be applying for a space at Bloomington Pridefest on August 22nd. These events are meaningful opportunities for us to share kindness, hospitality, and the love of Christ with our wider community.

 As a congregation, we affirm and support LGBTQ+ members of our community and believe that every person deserves to be welcomed with dignity, compassion, and care. We are grateful for the chance to meet neighbors, offer encouragement, and continue building relationships rooted in God’s love.

 In past years, our volunteers have shared free hugs, cold water, painted rocks, bookmarks, candy, flags, and welcoming conversation with festival attendees and their families (including plenty of pets!). We look forward to another joyful season of connection and outreach in 2026.
​
 If you would like to volunteer, help organize supplies, or simply stop by and say hello during the festivals, we would love to have you involved! 🌈
