Open and Affirming  Statement

 

 

“…in Christ there is no longer Jew nor Greek,

slave nor free, male nor female, for all are one…”  (Galatians 3:28) 

 

Union Congregational United Church of Christ is a community of faith-keeping and faith-seeking people which affirms that every person has worth as a unique creation made in the image of God

 

We acknowledge that throughout its history the Christian church has often condemned and excluded people because of race, culture, age, gender, gender identity, economic status, disability or sexual orientation.  We believe such actions are inconsistent with Christ’s teachings.

 

In the spirit of Paul’s words in Galatians, we recognize, celebrate, and give thanks for the diversity in which God created us, each in God’s image and loved by God. 

 

We declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation.  We welcome into the full life and ministry of the church persons of every race, culture, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, and economic or educational status.

 

We welcome everyone to share in all the responsibilities and blessings of participation in our congregation:  leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, rites and sacraments.

 

We commit to be a community of faith and spirit that works toward openness and understanding, offering justice, healing and wholeness of life for all people.

 

We believe that through diversity, we can grow and practice a unity of faith that transcends any differences.
