JANUARY 26, 2020:
CELEBRATING ONE YEAR OF BEING AN AFFIRMING CHURCH!
Affirm Celebration Service January 2019!
Our Affirming Vision Statement
To know God through Jesus Christ, and to reflect God's love as the church in a changing community and world.
We walk confidently with Jesus, who knows no boundaries, as we celebrate the richness and diversity of God's creation.
We are called and seek to be a faith community that welcomes and affirms diversity in ethnic, racial and cultural origin; gender identity and sexual orientation; age and stage of life; physical and mental ability; social and economic status; honouring and embracing all in their uniqueness. Full participation of everyone is included in all aspects of the life and work of our ministry.
Together we support and encourage one another to become all we can be in God, individually and as a faith community.
