Pride Alpenglow Sanctuary: An Evening of Healing and Affirmation

As the sun sets over the Sierra and the mountains are painted in the warm, enduring hues of alpenglow, we gather to hold a sacred space of healing, reflection, and radical belonging.

For many in the Pride community, the relationship with church and faith has been a source of deep pain, exclusion, and heavy burdens. This Pride Week, Church of the Mountains wants to say clearly: You are beloved exactly as you are, and your story matters!

Pride Alpenglow Sanctuary is a special evening service dedicated entirely to healing. It’s a reflective and meditative service with gentle space, music, candle lighting, shared silence, and words of affirmation. Whether you are seeking to mend a fractured relationship with faith, want to sit in quiet solidarity, gather with our community, or simply need a safe place to rest your heart, you are welcome here.

Come as you are. Wear what makes you comfortable. Bring your grief, your hope, your anger, or your joy—all of it is sacred.
