Welcoming Statement

As Sonoma United Methodist Church, we are part of the Body of Christ and uphold the call of the Gospel to love all people. We welcome and affirm all persons regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, race, ethnicity, physical abilities, and economic status. All persons are of sacred worth and created in the image of God.

We recognize that there are differences among us but believe that we can love alike even though we may not think alike.  We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church and society.

We promise, to the best of our ability to provide programs, ministries and pastoral care to all persons who seek God in this place. Above all, we seek to love one another as Christ loved us.
