You belong at our table. And marching with us in Pride is a powerful way to show someone else they do too.
On July 19, Pearl is walking in the Portland Pride Parade—and we want you with us. Whether you're queer, straight, somewhere in between, or still figuring it out, there's a place for you in our group. Come march as yourself, fully.
Somewhere along that parade route, someone is standing on the sidewalk who has written off the church—likely because the church wrote them off first. When they see us, something shifts. They get to see a Christian community that welcomes them fully. A few of them found their way to Pearl because of that moment. You get to be part of that.
The parade runs 11am–2pm. We're about halfway through the lineup, so you'll have plenty of time to attend service with us first and head over after.
RSVP and we'll send you everything you need to know.
Order Pearl Pride 2026 T-Shirts when you sign up, too! $25 each. Available in all the colors of the pride flag, with the words "every part of you is welcome". Lightweight, soft American Apparel t-shirts; youth sizes available in some colors. You can add one to your registration, or purchase even if you aren't planning to walk with us. Shirts will be available for pickup at church when ready.
