We Are LGBTQ+ & Allies

 
We are proud members of CoastPride’s Multi-Faith Partners

We at CJC welcome you, no matter who you love or how you identify

Each of us and our congregation benefits from embracing our diversity. By honoring each of our unique contributions we are creating a culture of tikkun olam (repairing the world), and a safe, welcoming place to celebrate our joys and support each other in times of need.


CoastPride’s Mission is to create a coastside that supports and celebrates people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Our health and wellness programs provide support to LGBTQ+ folks of all ages and their allies. We provide vital services and community through our support groups for LGBTQ+ youth, caregivers, and the elderly. We educate the community through our Attraction, Gender Identity, and Expression Trainings. We host visibility events throughout the year, including June Pride and LGBTQ+ History Month. We partner with local schools to provide training and create more inclusive learning environments.

 
CoastPride offers a safe space at the CoastPride Center to gather the diversity of our voices, raise awareness of LGBTQ+ issues, and address the needs of our LGBTQ+ youth, families, and adults. We work with local civic, governmental, educational, for-profit and nonprofit organizations to enhance services so that they are inclusive of all who play, work, and live on the coastside.
