Beloved is a diverse, welcoming, grace-filled community. We offer sanctuary for people who have not felt at home in traditional churches. Folks from all walks of life come together to grow in relationship with one another and with God. We seek healing and wholeness for ourselves, our city and our world.
We are an Open-and-Affirming Congregation of the Southeast Conference of the United Church of Christ.
At Beloved Community, we invite you to come as you are, be who you are, and grow toward who you were created to be.
