At Nativity United Church of Christ, We Value Diversity

 

 

We warmly welcome people of every age, race, marital status, sexual orientation, means, ability and spiritual tradition to join us in the love of God and neighbor through worship, dedication to education and commitment to service.

We realize that these values, which cherish diversity, are at odds with some parts of our larger culture. At Nativity, we simply don't discriminate against people who are in a minority because we seek to pattern our choices on how Jesus lived and taught.

We also value diversity in people because with it, our lives are enhanced, our learning, work and play is more creative and all of life is made fuller by mindfulness of our connectedness with one another and with our Maker.

We have completed four congregational discussion groups on our desire to be inclusive and welcoming to all. On January 18, 2009, our congregation voted to be an open and affirming congregation.
