Affirming Statement of Mill Woods United Church
As a community of the Christian faith, striving to answer Jesus' call to love all of our neighbors as ourselves, we declare our love for all persons, regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, differing abilities, ethnic background or economic circumstance and welcome them into full participation in every aspect of congregational life. As we continue our discovery of what it means to be an inclusive community, we recognize the importance of hearing each other's stories and respecting each other's gifts. We celebrate diversity even as it challenges us to walk with Christ down roads we have not yet explored.
