Mount Auburn Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The church has gained prominence because of its role in the controversies over gay marriage and the ordination of gay elders within the Presbyterian Church. While serving as minister of the church, the Reverend Stephen van Kuiken carried out the church's policy of performing gay marriages for three years, before being kicked out of the Presbyterian Church by a vote of the Cincinnati Presbytery in 2003. Mt. Auburn fired Van Kuiken and changed its policy on gay marriage. Van Kuiken later appealed the ruling of the presbytery and was reinstated as a minister of the Presbyterian Church.
