Pullen Memorial Baptist Church

Pullen Memorial Baptist Church is one of a few church congregations in Raleigh that was very supportive—and very publicly so—to the LGBTQIA+ communities in the 1980s and 1990s. The church hosted educational conferences in the 1980s and its pastor officiated at the blessing of a same-sex union in 1993.
