Advent Lutheran Church is a welcoming and affirming congregation
of the ELCA Southeastern Synod. We welcome and affirm all as they are, and
share in God’s abundant grace through our worship, service, and fellowship.
We welcome all who are seeking God’s love and grace.
We welcome all as God welcomes all, regardless of race or culture.
We welcome all as God welcomes all, regardless of physical or mental health or ability.
We welcome all as God welcomes all, regardless of faith or religious background,
agnosticism, atheism, or independence of belief.
We welcome all as God welcomes all, regardless of sexual orientation,
gender identity, gender expression, or relationship status.
We welcome all as God welcomes all, without regard to addictions, imprisionment,
socio-economic positions, or anything that seeks to divide us. Our unity is in Christ.
We thus affirm this welcome includes all people.
We pledge to ourselves and to all others that we will strive to live as a reconciling and embracing people,
in our life together and in our outreach to the world.
We welcome you without demand or presumption, affirm and celebrate your existence
just as God made you, and invite you to be a part of our community.
