Meet us at Oregon City Pride!

Sep 6, 12:00 – 5:00 at Clackamas Community College

Several people gather holding a banner with a rainbow background that reads Beavercreek United Church of Christ Honoring Diversity

Now known as Beavercreek United Church of Christ (aka Ten O’Clock Church) the founding church incorporated in1882. Yep, we’ve been part of the community for 143 years! And boy, have we seen changes.

One of the major ones came in 1999 when we voted to become Open and Affirming (OnA): Committed to justice for all people. OnA, is an official designation in the UCC for churches that deliberately have chosen to commit to welcome, affirm, and advocate for the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer persons. We welcome our LGBT family and know that we are all utterly beloved by God.

“As we prepare for the Pride Festival on September 6, 2025, at our beloved Clackamas Community College, we want to invite you to be a part of something truly special. This festival isn’t just an event; it’s a powerful statement that love conquers all and that there is no room for hate in our vibrant community.” *
