Our Commitment to being an
Open & Affirming Congregation
We're an Open and Affirming
congregation, welcoming all regardless of race,
gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, marital
status, or social, physical or mental ability.
We believe that our value as
human beings is given to us by God, and that God calls us to relate to each
other as whole persons with love, respect, trust, mutual nurturing and acceptance.
We include and affirm all who
come to us regardless of gender, race, age, marital status, sexual orientation,
nationality, ethnicity, economic class, physical or psychological differences.
We believe that including everyone
in our language about God and people more clearly reflects God's own all-embracing
welcome.
Rev. Magwire offers pre-union
counseling for couples, in addition to performing commitment ceremonies and
holy unions.
