All Youth are Welcome at EPWORTH

We promise to support, encourage and uplift each other every week as we grow together in our love for God and for each other. We will do this by respecting each other, being friendly and kind, communicating openly and honestly with each other, and staying lighthearted and joyful in everything we do. We promise to listen and be empathetic when our friends are sharing. We promise to create a space where questions and doubts can be raised in an environment of trust and acceptance. We will strive to represent the body of Christ.

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. 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.

God loves us, and we love all youth!
