Our church holds an Open and Affirming designation in the United Church of Christ.
We affirm that each individual is a child of God, and recognize that we are called to be like one body with many members, seeking with others of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, age, gender, marital status, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression to journey together toward the promised realm of God. We invite everyone to join in the common life and mission of our reconciling community through participation and leadership in this congregation, and by fully sharing in the worship, rites and sacraments of this church.
We commit ourselves to making justice and inclusivity a reality in this congregation and in the world. In doing so, we rely upon the healing, unconditional nature of God’s love and grace for help and guidance.
