Servant’s Community Church Welcome Statement
In response to the invitation from Christ to live in love and freedom,
We welcome all people to fully participate in this community:
At Servant’s Community Church, we believe each person is wonderfully made in the image of God, with distinctions and unique attributes that make the world more beautiful. Every person is beloved, gifted, and called to serve. Therefore, when it comes to participating and leading within this community, we make no distinction on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, or social and economic class. In this community, all people are encouraged to live fully into their created goodness.
To help encourage this authentic invitation, we work to practice the following postures:
We trust each other’s stories:
We are each a work in progress with varying perspectives on important topics. We seek to follow Christ’s command to love God and neighbor and do our best to be well-informed; yet we are each still learning. We trust that, apart from God, each person is the best source of knowledge regarding their own stories. We trust and encourage each other to listen to the Spirit, and we commit to a learning posture when personal stories are shared.
We take up each other’s causes:
When a member of this community suffers, we all suffer. When one of us celebrates, it is cause for all of us to celebrate! Therefore, we dedicate ourselves to one another’s well-being; offering support, showing care, and creating pathways toward a bright, just, equitable future.
We welcome transformation:
By committing ourselves to follow Christ's teaching, and living into these promises, we anticipate reflecting God's image even brighter than before as we continue growing into the people God has created us to be.
