“We are a growing group of people gathered by Union Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, pursuing justice and healing, and proudly affirming and celebrating that sacred love is inclusive of all people and all creation.”

We therefore commit to:

  • supporting the well-being of our diverse community.
  • acknowledging that we occupy land where other nations have lived and thrived, and striving to be allies of our Anishinaabe neighbors.
  • creating a welcoming and affirming community for our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
  • taking regenerative care of our environment, particularly protecting the quality of our water and forest habitats.
