Welcoming Message

Your joy, your pain, your gain, your loss, are ours, for you are one of us.

 

Cedaredge Community United Methodist Church lives its vision of open hearts, open doors, and open minds by its actions and its deeds. The church provides welcoming and spiritual worship and service to our community and beyond, following Jesus’s teachings of caring for all and accepting each person’s value and individuality. There are no limits or conditions to our acceptance. All of God’s people are welcomed.

Wherever you come from, whatever language you speak, your heritage, race, financial situation, political affiliation, ideology, education, physical and mental abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, or whomever you love, all are welcome to our church. We are deeply committed to being an all-inclusive and diverse congregation that represents the beautiful diversity found in our world. A place where everyone is not just welcomed, but truly valued and
accepted. Through our acts of kindness, we strive for a deeper understanding of each person’s sacred value and the holy essence of the Christian community.

As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed. We oppose oppression wherever it is found. We endeavor to turn our words into deliberate policies, practices, and acts of natural kindness.
