St. Paul's UCC Open and Affirming Covenant


St. Paul’s United Church of Christ of Fort Washington celebrates the divinity that is inherent in all people, believing that we are all made in God’s image and are part of God’s beloved community. As followers of Jesus Christ, we welcome all people into our church including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex, and asexual.  In response to Christ’s commandment to love one another, we extend this love and welcome without reservation. We say this while affirming the worth and dignity of all people and honoring the diversity of God’s children, which reflects our infinite God. 


St. Paul ’s UCC embraces all people of every ethnicity, culture, race, gender identity and gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital standing, economic status, mental or physical ability, faith background, or family configuration. All are invited to participate fully in the life of the church, each sharing their own uniqueness. 


Recognizing that the Christian Church has historically excluded those who have not fit its preconceived notions of who is acceptable to God, we repent for this and pledge to be a counterweight to this ongoing exclusion, trusting in the ever-present Spirit of God to lead us. We admit that we are a work in progress as we endeavor to extend a true and sincere welcome to all, providing an inclusive sense of belonging to every visitor, guest, and member. 


We make this commitment with the help of God. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome, accepted, and valued here, for we are all children of God.
