Pullen Memorial Baptist Church

Pullen Memorial Baptist Church
American Baptist
Raleigh, North Carolina

 Pullen Memorial Baptist Church
is an LGBT-affirming, courageous,
authentic community of faith.
Yes, you read that right – we are Baptists.

We are not afraid to struggle with difficult questions of faith. After lengthy discussion and prayer, in 1992, Pullen endorsed unqualified acceptance of gay/lesbian Christians. Within a year Pullen was excluded from the Raleigh Baptist Association, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, and the Southern Baptist Convention.

We are proud to be a founding congregation of the LGBT affirming Alliance of Baptists and early members of the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists.
