An Open and Affirming Congregation
We, the members of Park Avenue Congregational Church, United Church of
Christ, as an expression of our Christian love for all God’s people,
declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation. Open and
Affirming is the UCC designation for congregations that make public
statements of welcome into their full life, leadership and ministries to
persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
We welcome all people into our community of faith, embracing differences
of sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, race, ethnicity,
mental or physical ability, age and socio-economic background.
In our calling to express the love and welcome of Christ, we affirm the
dignity and worth of every person.
