Open and Affirming (O&A) Statement:

We believe in a loving God who, through Jesus Christ, has called us to love and affirm all God's children.

We welcome to full life and ministry all persons, regardless of mental and physical ability, sexual identity, race, religious background, or economic status.

By the power of the Holy Spirit we commit ourselves to respect and support gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons, who have often been excluded from the life of the church.

We stand together seeking justice, healing and wholeness of life for all, thus becoming an open and affirming congregation.
