St. Mark's United Methodist Church

Convenant of Reconciliation

Adopted May 2006

We believe that all persons are recipients of God's love and grace, and are infinitely and equally worthy. 

We proclaim that all women, men and children are created in the image of God and that all are children of God. 

We affirm and welcome the particpation of bisexual, gay, intersex, lesbian, transgender and all other sexual and gender minorities in all aspects of the community of faith in our church home. 

We likewise welcome persons of any age, race, ethnicity, culture, economic condition, physical or mental ability.  We embrace and seek to affirm the beautiful, amazing diversity of God's creation. 

We pray and hope our affirmation of the wholeness of all people will bring reconciliation and understanding to all.

We profess to be a Reconciling Congregation proclaiming God's grace and dignity for all people.
