Celebrate Pride with AWAB Member Churches Across the Country
Pride is more than a month—it’s a movement. And across the U.S., AWAB’s welcoming and affirming Baptist churches are showing up with joy, love, and bold public witness.
Below you’ll find our 2026 Pride Directory, featuring events, services, and celebrations hosted by AWAB member churches in their local communities. From parades and Pride worship services to resource tables and community gatherings, there are countless ways to get involved.
This directory will be continuously updated from May 18th through November 1 to reflect local and regional Pride events happening beyond National Pride Month.
