ONA Statement
(adopted September 30, 2007)
Lynnhaven Colony Congregational Church, United Church of Christ believes that, although we are many members, we are one body in Christ. As such, we are called to love one another, to do justice, to offer freedom from oppression and to walk humbly with our God. We are an open and affirming church, embracing diversity and affirming the dignity and worth of every person created in the image of God. We welcome into full membership and participation in the Body of Christ persons of every race, language, age, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, mental ability, socio-economic status, marital status, and faith background. We welcome all people as they are, without reservation, to share in the full life, leadership, ministry and fellowship, worship, sacraments, responsibilities and blessings of participation in our congregation.
