"Open and Affirming" is a designation that describes congregations, regions, general units, ministries, and institutions of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) as having made a formal declaration that Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered, and Questioning persons are welcome to participate fully in all aspects of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) ministry.

In Our Beliefs

It is our strong belief that God made each of us in God’s own image - male to female, gay to straight, rich to poor, young to old – each of us, every one, beloved in God’s eyes. With all our differences in age, ability and physical condition, in race, cultural background and economic status, in sexual orientation, gender identity and family structure, God receives each one with loving kindness and joy.

In Our Practices

It is our official policy that Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered, and Questioning persons are welcome to participate fully in all aspects of ministry . The church includes statements of support of LGBTQ persons in its policies, including in its Building Use policy so that persons who are using the church building will be aware of the church’s beliefs on these matters.

In Our Community

North Christian Church is active in supporting LGBTQ persons throughout our community.  We participate in God’s mission to heal the brokenness of creation and to bring justice and peace to the whole human family: this includes promoting human rights and opposing oppression wherever it may be found in the world.  We pledge to work for the day when society will welcome all in the same way Christ welcomes.
