We at the University Park Church of the Brethren are diverse in our understanding and application of the Bible. This diversity reflects the richness of scripture itself and the ineffable mind of God. We believe that our shared experience in the church enriches the journey of our lives and helps to strengthen our faith.
Our congregation is affiliated with, and supports,
Supportive Communities Network. SCN is a program of the Brethren Mennonite Council for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Interests. It is a network of Mennonite and Church of the Brethren communities who are publicly affirming of gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual members. For more information, contact Annabeth Roeschley at the BMC office or email

SCN Goals
1. To offer support, resources and opportunities for dialogue among congregations which welcome gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual members;
2. To encourage meaningful dialogue at the denominational level;
3. To offer support and resources for individuals who are working toward welcome.
