As children of God, we are called to share in word and deed\nthe divine love that casts out fear. Made in God\u2019s image, we are called to\naccept ourselves and our sexuality, which is a gift given by God, whatever our\nsexual orientation. We are called to\nwork together through the Holy Spirit to uphold standards of human relationship\ngrounded in mutual love, responsibility, accountability, trust, and\nnurture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are all forgiven and reconciled children of God, drawn\ntogether by our Lord\u2019s command to love one another. We invite all to proclaim\nGod\u2019s kingdom and to share in all aspects of the life of our congregation:\nworship, education, stewardship, and service. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central United Methodist Church is a Reconciling Congregation affirming all persons without regard to race, gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental ability, marital status, economic condition, or anything else that threatens to divide God\u2019s family. In our quest to follow the example of Christ, we commit ourselves to loving acts of invitation, welcome and reconciliation, providing ministry to, for, and with all persons without exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
