About Us:

The Church Audio-Visual Technician Queen Anne United Methodist Church is a small intergenerational church, with young people, elders, and everyone in between participating as full members and leaders in our community. We are a neighborhood church located on the top of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, yet we connect much more broadly—with other churches, groups, and movements outside of Queen Anne, outside of Seattle, and even outside of the Pacific Northwest. The congregation is committed to justice for those generationally and situationally oppressed. It is expressly queer-affirming. This is a community that knows and cares about each other. Faith is nurtured here in ways that stretch us in a passionate, action-oriented understanding of God's love and justice. We acknowledge all persons to be of sacred worth and welcome them into the worship life, membership and leadership of our church regardless of race, gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation or economic condition. We are proud members of the Reconciling Ministries Network, which works for the liberation of LGBTQIA+ people.
