We can't wait to welcome you to the THIRD Annual Interfaith Pride Service!
The Service
A celebration of Queer joy, community, and the dignity of all people, Central Ohio's annual Interfaith Pride Service is a yearly reminder that just as there have always been LGBTQIA+ people, we've always been part of religious and secular traditions. The service platforms practitioners and members of a variety of diverse traditions, both theistic and non-theistic.
When - 7pm on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 (doors open at 6:30pm with food available)
