In response to the call to Romans 16:7, "Welcome one another, therefore as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God," we believe that every person has worth as an individual and every person is entitled to dignity and respect.

We, therefore, publicly proclaim that: We welcome people of any race, nationality, sexual orientation, age and ability into the membership of our church, and we encourage everyone to share their faith, gifts and talents in worship, service, study and leadership; We commit to remove all barriers that exclude people from full and active participation in our church; and We will continually strive to eliminate prejudice from our thoughts and actions and discourage prejudice by others at every opportunity."
