Board Statements

Statement of Intent to Dismantle Racism

As a congregation with the mission of seeking and extending God’s healing, hope, and reconciliation, we recognize that we have been complicit in white privilege in the suppression of those in the black, indigenous, and “people of color” communities. We acknowledge that we have been impeded by attitudes and behaviors that deny or suppress others. We commit to self-examination to address wrongs we have done and to adopt a posture of welcome and advocacy.
