We believe a concern for human beings and their dignity is at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We, therefore, pledge ourselves to recognize all people as children of God and to embrace all as friends and neighbors, without regard to race, national origin, social or financial status, sex, age, sexual orientation or anything else.

We will defend victims of injustice and work in their behalf when their basic human rights are denied or threatened. In our congregational and personal lives, we will seek to exemplify a concern and respect for all people, so that the whole family of God can know the abundant life Jesus came to bring.
