Reconciling Congregation

• MISSION: To mobilize United Methodists of all sexual orientations and gender identities to transform our Church and world into the full expression of Christ’s inclusive love.

UMC Red Bank’s Mission:

• The United Methodist Church of Red Bank, as a reconciling congregation (church), seeks to transform our Church and world into the full expression of Christ’s inclusive love. We celebrate our human family’s diversity of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, age, faith, history, economic status, marital status, physical and mental ability, and education.
• We affirm that all people are created in the image of God and as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace.
• We welcome the full equality and full inclusion of all people in the life and ministries of The United Methodist Church of Red Bank as we journey toward reconciliation through Christ.
• We recognize that there are differences among us, but we believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike.
• We work diligently to make the larger United Methodist Church inclusive and welcoming of all. This includes affirming the same rights and privileges of marriage equality and the right to be ordained.
• We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in church and society. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey toward greater love, understanding and mutual respect.
