Monroe Congregational United Church
Mission Statement
We believe God is a God of immeasurable love.
We strive to be an extravagantly welcoming community believing that every person, without exception, is an expression of the word of God. We honor God's commandment to love our neighbors as ourselves and welcome all people regardless of race, nationality, ability, age, gender, sexual orientation, or appearance.
We endeavor to be a vital and vibrant part of our larger community, expressing our deep faith and joy as we interact with others and are of service to those who are in need.
We support and comfort each other in times of sorrow and concern as well as rejoicing with each other in times of joy and success.
We believe that each of us has a valuable talent to contribute to our Christian endeavors thereby strengthening the whole body of Christ. Therefore, we seek to provide equal opportunity for all to express those gifts.
Being non judgmental, we respect the integrity of each person's individual journey. We work to support each other on our spiritual journeys by exploring the Biblical stories of our Christian tradition with openness to their power to surprise, disturb, renew and influence the well-being of our daily lives. We honor the faithfulness of our tradition and encourage discovery of the meaning and ongoing revelation of God's word.
We commit ourselves to being a voice of truth, promoting justice wherever God's vision of a liberated people and world is threatened or denied.
We honor the gift of God's creation by walking upon the earth gently and encouraging others to respect the sacredness of all creation and all creatures.
