welcoming and affirming process

At our 2021 Annual Meeting in June, our membership made the decision to enter a one-year discernment process to become a Welcoming and Affirming church, the official designation for Baptist churches that welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ individuals. This process includes two Learning and two Listening sessions throughout the year, where the congregation is invited to learn more about what it means to welcome and affirm LGTBQ+ individuals, and to listen to one another and ask questions. At the final listening session in the spring of 2022, should the congregation wish to move forward, a statement of inclusion will be crafted to be approved at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the church.

​The first learning session was held on Sunday, September 26th, where we learned more about the LGBTQ+ community and definitions. We held a listening session on Sunday, November 7th, and our next learning session with the Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists is Sunday, January 9th at 1 p.m.

Please speak to Pastor Mindi for more information about  our process.
