Statement of Reconciliation
Vermont Hills United Methodist Church, as a congregation of reconciliation, believes that all people are children of God and that God's acceptance, grace and love are available to everyone.
We declare ourselves to be a faith community intent upon reconciling all God's people into one community of faith- we are one people- God's people. We declare that persons of all ages, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, economic conditions, marital status, mental or physical abilities are welcome to attend, join, and participate fully in the life of our community of faith.
We pray that, by living out our call to love and accept all people, our community will be a blessing to each of its participants and to the wider community and to our world so that we can truly state with conviction that we have Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors.
Adopted by a Congregational Meeting on December 10, 2006
