🏳️⚧️ Photo Album + Recording: First-Ever Interfaith Pride Worship at the Blue Ridge Pride Festival 🏳️🌈
As part of 2025 Blue Ridge Pride Festival, we were honored to join with other local faith communities to co-host a special Interfaith Pride Worship Service on Saturday, September 27 at 9 am at Central United Methodist Church in Downtown Asheville.
This inclusive, affirming service was a joyful celebration of love, justice and spiritual unity across traditions. Together, we took time to reflect, sing and stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ siblings, honoring the sacred worth of all people.
Following the service, we processed together to the Blue Ridge Pride Festival, continuing our witness of welcome and belonging for all.
This year, the Blue Ridge District of the United Methodist Church was a Jade-level sponsor the the Blue Ridge Pride Festival. You can view photos from the Interfaith Pride Worship, watch the worship service and see photos from the 2025 Pride Festival below.
