McClure United Church Mission in Action

We believe that we are called by Jesus Christ to proclaim the gospel and live the gospel in the world by:

1. encouraging faith development and nurturing of spiritual growth for people of all ages;
2. providing meaningful worship;

1. reaching out to our own church community, the wider community and the world;
2. promoting stewardship, encouraging people to use their talents and resources and encouraging care of our environment;
3. fostering Christian fellowship; and
4. publically affirming that we are all one in Jesus Christ regardless of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, ability, age, race, ethnicity, marital status and social or economic circumstances. As an Affirming Ministry we will:

1. embrace and celebrate the richness of God’s gift of diversity, as well as the gifts of one another, and encourage full participation of all people in the life and work of our ministry;
2. continue to discern what it is to be an affirming and inclusive community;
3. create and maintain a safe, respectful and welcoming community for all; and
4. continue to work, by word and action, for justice and dignity for all God’s people.
