St. Matthew Welcome Statement
We believe that everyone is a child of God and we welcome all for worship,
to the table and for fellowship.
The love of Jesus commands that we provide amazing hospitality to everyone
regardless of color, age, marital status, citizenship, ability, sexual orientation and gender identity.
With Divine Friendship, we receive the gifts of all people as members and leaders in our community in whatever role or vocation God assigns them.
With Divine Love, we stand as allies, supporters and friends of all whom the world has marginalized or oppressed.
I am a friend of God, He calls me friend.
