AHUMC is a place that is loving and welcoming to all, without exception. We look forward to meeting you and walking with you in your faith journey. We are all in different seasons of life with different spiritual needs. For our siblings in Christ who are lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, and queer, we want our church to be a safe place for you to find joy, community, worship, and grow in your faith as part of the AHUMC family.

The voices and hearts within the LGBTQIA+ community and allies are valued members of AHUMC. AHUMC pursues ways to be more mindful of inclusivity, knowing that listening and learning with our LGBTQIA+ siblings helps us uncover areas where we can grow.
