Our own Heather Gee-Thomas spoke with @UMNews about the adversity that transgender children face each day, including her trans son: https://www.umnews.org/en/news/united-methodist-mother-of-trans-child-shares-story

We are so grateful to walk alongside Heather to support, educate, and advocate for our LGBTQIA+ siblings!#TransRightsAreHumanRights

We celebrate communion every Sunday and you’re invited to experience God’s love + grace at this open table for ALL people. Not just for members, not just for United Methodists. For you.

This is the bread of Life. This is the cup of Hope. Broken for you. Poured for you. Baked for you. Harvested for you. Blessed for you. A Holy Sacrament for you. A call to go out into the world to love God + love one another for you.

We believe the love of Jesus is radical and rooted in justice. #ForEveryoneBorn ❤️🏳️‍🌈✊🏾

We were BLESSED to officially welcome Derek, Jennifer + Arthur White into our Glendale Family yesterday! With a Gamer Chaplain in our midst, there are so many opportunities to share the love + grace of God with new people in new ways! Stay tuned - great things are ahead!

A little bit about them: “We chose Glendale because of the open, loving, & gracious spirit exhibited by the pastor & congregation. Glendale is a wonderfully affirming place.”

What's another sign of the new life that we continue to experience at Glendale? The need to hire our first youth director in decades! We are so excited to introduce our new Youth Director, Sveta Griffin! If you, or someone you know, is looking for a safe + affirming group for 7th-12th graders, learn more at GlendaleUMC.org/Youth!

WHAT A DAY! We celebrated the baptism of Justin, Megan and Olivia, reaffirmed the baptism of Grey in his chosen name and welcomed the Maynard Family into our beautiful Glendale Fam! We can’t say how excited we are to be on this journey of faith + life alongside each of you. 💙

Sveta Griffin found us + we are SO thankful that she chose us as her church family! 💙

From Sveta: “I grew up in an evangelical non-denominational church. I never quite fit in. I got tired of seeing people claim that they love Jesus and then turn a blind eye to injustices in the world. I found Glendale and it felt like home for me - a place of belonging and acceptance and a group of people who lived out the teachings and love of Jesus.“
