This year, in between our seasonal discipleship sessions, we’ve been exploring what it means to be an Inclusive Church. These conversations are part of a wider journey as we reflect on how we can truly become a more welcoming, inclusive, and diverse community—where everyone feels they belong, just as they are.

We believe that inclusion is not a special project or a one-off statement, but a core part of what it means to follow the way of Jesus. It means listening to voices we may not always hear, learning from different experiences and perspectives, and being honest about the barriers—visible or invisible—that may keep people from feeling at home in our worship and community life.

Our exploration includes thinking about disability, race, gender, sexuality, mental health, poverty, and more. It’s about shaping a church culture that reflects the radical welcome of Christ, where difference is not just accepted but celebrated as part of the richness of God’s creation.

This work matters because it reflects our commitment to becoming a church where love, justice, and hospitality are at the heart of all we do. It’s a journey—and we won’t always get it right—but we believe it’s one worth walking together.
