Racial Justice and Multicultural Ministry

WELCOME! We honestly mean it!

At its 2005 General Assembly, the United Reformed Church (URC) declared itself a multicultural church.

As a multicultural Church, the URC affirms its reforming, uniting and non-conforming ethos, intentionally committing itself to an intercultural journey that calls us to embody God's love, live God's word, promote God's justice, and practice expansive hospitality, the Jesus way.

- - affirming that the human family is one race, consisting of people of diverse ethnicities and cultures
  - rejoicing in and treasuring all of the variety of giftings of the human family
  - committing itself to welcoming ALL people into the community of faith
  - promoting God's justice for the whole of creation;
  - growing deep and wide while enriching every aspect of our life together
  - opposing, challenging and rejecting the sin of racism and related forms of prejudice
