We are an Open and Affirming Congregation
Open and Affirming (ONA) is the United Church of Christ’s designation for congregations and campus ministries which make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
Our Statement of Inclusion
In keeping with the life and teaching of Christ Jesus, we joyfully and unconditionally welcome all people of any age, gender, sexual orientation, race, culture, ability or social or economic status into our community of faith. We affirm the humanity of all people as unique individuals made in God’s image. We also affirm the special gifts that each person has to offer. We invite all to participate in the full life of the church and covenant of our Christian community.
You mean EVERYONE?
Yep! Avon Congregational Church is a welcoming, open and affirming church to all people of all races, genders, ages, sexual orientations, professions, previous religious affiliations, nationalities, or mental, emotional and physical conditions.
