“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved
you, you also should love one another.” (John 13:34)
We, the Stratford Street United Church, embrace the diversity of individuals and
family units who have found their way to our community. We are an Open,
Welcoming, and Affirming church, believing that each of us is created in God’s
image. We celebrate everyone, including people of all ages, races, cultures, sexual
orientations, gender identities and expressions, family configurations, economic
circumstances, physical, cognitive, or emotional abilities, education, or spiritual
and religious traditions. We are single, married, divorced, retired, chronically ill,
unemployed, working, students, able-bodied and living with a disability, old,
young, and LGBTQIA+. We are Christians, followers of Jesus, agnostics, former
Catholics, never been to church before until we started at SSUC. Some of our bank
accounts are full, others are empty. We are spiritually centered, frazzled, yoga
practitioners, and bikers. What unites us is our commitment to community and the
teachings of Jesus.
All are welcome to participate fully in the life, leadership, ministry, and mission of
this church as we seek to grow together in a safe and nurturing community. We
strive to demonstrate in all ways that “No matter who you are or where you are on
life’s journey, you are welcome here!”
We commit ourselves to the ongoing work of being an Open, Welcoming, and
Affirming congregation, one that lives out the belief that God is still speaking,
active in a diverse community.
