Statement of Unconditional Acceptance and Welcome

 

· This church is committed to the provision of equal opportunities for all to be welcomed and accepted into our building and our friendships with one another, to be openly encouraged to attend church events, and to have equal access to services provided by the church for the local community.

 

· This church believes that all people are created in the image of God and that His love reaches out to all people regardless of their age, ethnic or national origin, caring responsibility, gender, partnership status, religion, sexual orientation or identity, socio-economic status or background, disability or special need, HIV status, political belief or trade-union activity.

 

· So as a Church, we seek to mirror that same love, openness and acceptance of people that characterises God’s heart as we see it portrayed in the life and words and actions of our Lord Jesus Christ.
