Open and Affirming Statement
In response to God’s unconditional love for all people made known to us in Jesus Christ, we are called to be a welcoming and affirming community. The First Congregational Church of Lebanon, CT welcomes young and old, families, couples, singles, rich and poor, persons of various races, ethnicities, backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions, differing physical and mental abilities, believers, and seekers. With open minds and compassionate hearts, we welcome all to share in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments, responsibilities, blessings, and joys of our congregation. Centered in Christ, acknowledging the challenge of living out our invitation, and praying for God’s constant loving guidance, we commit ourselves to breaking down dividing walls and building a community where all are loved.
