Meetings & Events

PFLAG Mercer County hosts monthly meetings where people with shared experiences can connect to gain support, ask questions, and learn from others who have been through similar experiences. Meetings primarily cater to adults (18+) who are LGBTQ+ individuals or are parents, family members, or allies of LGBTQ+ individuals.


We hold two meetings per month.  Our first meeting is held virtually on the second Monday of each month from 7pm-9pm.  These meetings focus on support for community members and sometimes feature guest speakers.  Our second meeting alternates between the 4th Saturday and the 4th Sunday of the month starting at 5pm and running for 60 to 90 minutes.  Saturday meetings are in-person, and Sunday meetings are virtual.  The focus of these meetings vary and will appear in the list below.   The in-person meetings are held at various locations (often Mercer County library branches).  


All virtual meetings are hosted on the Zoom video conferencing service.  Download the Zoom software at this page.  Get help using Zoom at this page.


PFLAG Mercer County sponsors and/or participates in various events through out the year as listed below.  This calendar is updated regularly so please check back often.
