We are a Welcoming Congregation

Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation welcomes a diversity of people. We are intentionally welcoming to people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. We are an official UUA Welcoming Congregation, having worked through a curriculum that consciously examines homophobia, heterosexism and what it means for heterosexual people to be allies to people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. We welcome all people who share our values, regardless of race, age, gender or sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural heritage, social status, or physical ability.

Fremont Alliance for a Hate-Free Community

(formerly Not in Our Town - Fremont)
by Paul Clifford (updated 5/5/07)

There will be a meeting on May 12 of "Not in Fremont" from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Fremont Congregational Church (UCC), located at 38255 Blacow Road, between Eggers and Central, in Fremont. Remember, we meet on the second Monday of each month except August, so our next meeting will be on June 9.

Our focus is on ways to make Fremont safer for Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, or Bisexual youth, and more accepting for our most vulnerable religious communities of Sikhs and Moslems. It is co-chaired by MPUUC member Paul Clifford.

What is the Fremont Alliance for a Hate Free Community?

Our home town of Fremont is a wonderful place to live. The fourth most populous city in the Bay Area, Fremont consistently ranks as one of the top ten safest cities to live in the United States. Yet some here do not feel safe. In particular, some face harassment and inequities in their neighborhoods, workplaces and schools. The Fremont Alliance for a Hate Free Community was conceived to provide all of us an opportunity to address the issues of safety and intolerance that affect our community’s well being. Too often our communities are isolated and individuals are victimized. With the Fremont Alliance for a Hate Free Community we hope to build our community into a safer and more welcoming place for all of us. What we hope to accomplish is defined by our Mission Statement:

"We, concerned community members, are dedicated to making our home of Fremont a safe, welcoming place where everyone is respected and protected, regardless of their actual or perceived age, religion, race, gender, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental or physical disability, or any other manifestation of beautiful human diversity. Our vision is to be truly inclusive so that all know they belong. We are especially concerned that our children grow up in a safe and nurturing place. Toward that goal we proactively and positively lead, reach out, educate, and collaborate with others so that Fremont becomes a peaceful place where all may live safely, understand each other, act with kindness, and accept our differences."
