GRACE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST (UCC) 

Serving Justice, Loving Kindness

A United Church of Christ Congregation in Flemington, NJ

ONA: Open and Affirming

GRACE UCC ONA STATEMENT (approved by unanimous vote at the congregational meeting on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2008):

Grace UCC, a church without barriers to God, is a welcoming, inclusive, open and affirming congregation, rooted in the ministry of Jesus Christ.  Jesus teaches us to welcome all God’s children into God’s covenantal community.  In the spirit of Paul’s words in Galatians we recognize, celebrate, and give thanks for the diversity in which God has created us, each in the image and likeness of God and loved and embraced by God.  We welcome into full community our gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender sisters and brothers.  As we live out our mission of “serving justice, loving kindness” we invite all, regardless of sexual orientation, to join us in hearing Jesus’ call to share God’s love through full participation in the life, ministry, and witness of our church.  We acknowledge that discrimination of any kind is incompatible with Christ’s example and gospel of unconditional love.  Following Jesus’ example we hereby declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming Church.  No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
