We are an open and affirming congregation

Guided by our covenant.

Leading with love

Working for justice

Loving all people

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John, 13:34)

We believe that all humanity is united and declare ourselves to be an open and affirming congregation that welcomes all people into the full communion of our church and our friendship.

We strive to demonstrate in all ways that “no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!”

We the members of the Leslie Congregational United Church of Christ welcome and value:

People of all ages.

People of every race and mixture of races.

People of every ethnic background and nationality.

People of all gender identities and sexual orientation.

People in any economic situation.

People, regardless of physical or mental prowess or limitation.

We believe that all people are created in God’s image and thus are loved and blessed equally by God.

We believe we should “love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, with all our mind; and our neighbor as ourselves.” (Luke 10:24-28).

We, Leslie Congregational United Church of Christ, value and welcome a diverse congregation.  All are welcome to participate fully in the life, leadership, ministry, and mission of this church as we seek to grow together in a safe and nurturing community of faith. 

We value a deep spiritual connection with all humankind.  We realize we are indeed connected to all other beings, and we want to create together a world that unifies more than it divides.

Because we seek to live out the spirit of unity “that they may all be one” (John 17:21), we reflect our values by leading with love, working for justice, and loving all people.  Wherever you are on your faith journey you are welcome here.
