We, the Fall City United Methodist Church, embrace the concept

Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors. 

 

We affirm that ALL people are created in the image of God

and as beloved children of God, are worthy of God's love and grace. 

 

Our faith moves us to welcome ALL PERSONS of every age, gender, identification,

racial or ethnic background, sexual orientation, marital or economic status,

physical or mental ability to FULL PARTICIPATION in our Faith Community. 

 

We invite all people in our journey toward greater understanding,

mutual respect and reconciliation through Christ  

 

To our LGBTQIA+ family, friends and community members,

you are beautiful expressions of the diversity of God's creation

and the children of God...loved and called to service in a world that dearly needs you. 

 

We remain committed to full inclusion of God's LGBTQIA+ people in the life of FCUMC

and in the greater works of the United Methodist Church. 

We support our UMC clergy in this work/mission. 

 

We believe that all LGBTQIA+ people and clergy deserve full rights in our church and the world.
