Welcoming and Affirming Statement

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible when community is equally shared and shepherded by all.​ We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every ethnic background, national origin, age, diverse ability, marital status, and economic condition.​ We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequalies. We commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.
