About Prides Corner Congregational UCC
-
In May 2015, Prides Corner Church became an Open and Affirming congregation.
Our Open and Affirming Statement:
Jesus said to his disciples, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35) Because we believe that all people are created in God’s image and thus are blessed and loved equally by God, and in response to Christ’s command to love one another, we, the members of Prides Corner Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, hereby declare ourselves an Open and Affirming Christian community, actively expressing Jesus’ inclusive embrace of all people.
As we seek to grow in faith, we welcome people of every age, gender, race, national origin, faith background, marital status, and family structure, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, mental and physical ability, economic and social status, and educational background to join in the life, leadership, and fellowship of this community. Together, we will listen for the still-speaking God. Together, we will strive to live out Jesus’ command to love one another as he first loved us.
