Reconciling Congregation Statement
"In response to our calling to share the message of God's unconditional love, we welcome persons of all ages, genders, races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, socioeconomic status, physical and mental abilities as full participants in our community of faith.

Therefore, we extend a special invitation to gays, lesbians, and their families to join us in building a community that reflects God's love for all."
