Our Community’s Inclusiveness Covenant
We are a Christian community of faith, committed to welcoming and affirming all people as children of God. We believe that God calls us to celebrate each person’s uniqueness. In our life together we respect the integrity of each person’s identity, life and culture. We publicly and enthusiastically welcome and affirm people of every age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, economic status, and family structure into the full membership, leadership, ministry and sacramental life of our congregation. We covenant to reach out and support each other in our celebrations, sorrows, spiritual growth and personal ministries, calling forth the gifts of God in each of us. We pray that, guided by the Holy Spirit, we may grow in knowledge, vigilance and sensitivity to become ever more fully the inclusive community of faith that God is calling us to be.
