Grace Presbyterian Church
Grace Presbyterian Church (formerly University Presbyterian Church) of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is the first More Light Presbyterian church in the state of Alabama.
Although it had been a campus ministry and student center from its beginning in 1952, UPC was chartered as a church in 1966, in the midst of the Civil Rights movement. During that time, UPC not only became one of the few places in Tuscaloosa where people of all races could worship together, but its facility was opened to speakers and activist groups who were denied meeting space elsewhere in the community or on campus.…

Highland Presbyterian Church
Highland Presbyterian Church has always been a place of welcome and inclusion. However, we have chosen this moment in history to become a More Light Church because we feel it is now more important than ever to stand up for folks in the LGBTQ community, to support them, and to loudly proclaim that this is a safe space for them to be who God created them to be.

Hillsborough Presbyterian Church
For Hillsborough Presbyterian Church, becoming a More Light congregation is a way for us to make clear our inclusive status to those looking for a welcoming church family.
In 2013, during a time of transition in our church, HPC sought to formally embrace and publically acknowledge qualities that our congregation already embodied. We were already a very open, accepting, questioning, and exploring group of journeyers.…

Immanuel Presbyterian Church
In its beginning, the congregation of Immanuel Presbyterian Church adopted a mission statement which included the words, “called to be a sanctuary of welcome for all people”. Long supportive of More Light Presbyterians, active in the community as advocates, the congregation felt its calling wide and deep, but never actually signed on as a member of More Light.…
