Welcome Statement
on Marriage & Civil Unions
Unity Lutheran Church, Chicago

Create your Wedding at Unity - Click Here


The path to marriage equality has been dizzying, and a welcome delight! At Unity Lutheran we have been ahead of the curve, performing blessings before 2011, then civil unions, and marriages for same sex couples in June of 2014. Thanks be to God that marriage equality is now the law of the land. 

We believe that God blesses Marriage and Civil Unions 
​equally, and celebrate that in your service.  Unity’s pastor is available to officiate, and is authorized by the state to sign your license. If you have your own officiant, please contact us here.


Whatever faith tradition or place of worship you come from, or even if your partner identifies as non-believing or atheist, we welcome you. We believe that God's gift of faith and life supports and sustains your relationship and family. And as a community of faith, Unity Lutheran Church will hold you up in prayer throughout your life together, and pledges to continue to work for full marriage equality.
