Interfaith Pride Celebration 2026

About Interfaith Pride Celebration 2026

The Interfaith Pride Celebration 2026 offers a warm, spiritual heart to Cincinnati Pride Month on Thursday, June 25, at 7 p.m. at First United Church of Christ in College Hill. Hosted by Interfaith Cincinnati, this multifaith Pride service gathers people of many traditions, and none, to affirm LGBTQ+ lives and dignity, carrying the new-this-year theme Embracing Divine Diversity. The evening brings together clergy, musicians, and community members for a service of welcome, reflection, and celebration, with 2026 guest speaker Rev. Derek Terry of the Open and Affirming Coalition. It is a meaningful counterpoint to the festivals and parties, grounding Pride in faith, belonging, and the long history of LGBTQ+ people of faith claiming their place at the table. Anyone is welcome regardless of background or belief, and the tone is inclusive, uplifting, and community-minded rather than denominational. First United Church of Christ is at 5808 Glenview Avenue in College Hill, on Cincinnati's northwest side, reachable by Metro bus along the Hamilton Avenue corridor, with parking at the church. Doors open around 6:30 p.m. and the service begins at 7 p.m., and admission is free, so simply come as you are. For LGBTQ+ folks and allies who want a moment of reflection and spiritual affirmation during a busy Pride season, or for anyone seeking a faith community that celebrates them fully, the Interfaith Pride Celebration is a quietly powerful stop on Cincinnati Pride 2026.
