Come Out With Pride Parade

Oct. 18, 2025, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Lake Eola Park ,

Every year, Orlando’s Come Out With Pride festival brings tens of thousands of people to Lake Eola Park. Our church will once again march in the Pride Parade with our banner reading “You are God’s Beloved.” Our engagement at Pride is a way to affirm and encourage LGBTQ members of our church as well as share God’s inclusive, radical love with our neighbors. We want every person we interact with to know that they are God’s beloved, now and forever, because of who they truly are, not anything they’ve done.

Come Out With Pride will be held on Saturday, October 18th with the parade occurring in the late afternoon (usually 4–6pm). We will meet as a marching group along Orange Ave (location TBD) and the route is typically one mile. Families of all ages are welcome!

Please register ASAP to reserve your spot in the parade group. Note that a pre-event Zoom call will be held on Monday, October 13th at 8pm to review purpose, expectations, logistics, and questions for the day. The call will be recorded with the video available to anyone who registers in advance.
