Our Commitment to Inclusivity

At St Paul’s United Methodist Church, we believe that every person is a unique creation of God. Our commitment to inclusivity stems from our core values of love, acceptance, and understanding.

Our Open and Affirming Beliefs

As an Open and Affirming community, we actively embrace individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ and celebrate their identities as gifts from God. We recognize and respect the unique journeys that individuals undertake, and we strive to be a beacon of love and inclusion.

Our beliefs are grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ, who showed us the importance of compassion, acceptance, and social justice. We follow His example by affirming and supporting the LGBTQ+ community, advocating for equal rights, and standing against discrimination.

  • Support Groups: We offer support groups specifically tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals, providing a safe space to share experiences and find solace.
  • Education and Outreach: We organize workshops, seminars, and guest speakers to promote education, awareness, and understanding within our congregation and the broader community.
  • Social Justice Initiatives: We actively engage in efforts to create a more just and equitable society, advocating for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed.
