One of the ways we live out our mission to embody God's inclusive love is through our commitment to the full inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community in the life of our congregation. We have been an Open and Affirming (ONA) church since 1985. “Open and Affirming” is a movement of more than 1,800 churches and other ministries in the United Church of Christ that welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) members. All sacraments and rites of an ONA congregation are available to LGBTQ+ people, including baptism, confirmation, communion, and marriage. ONA churches take seriously the Bible’s admonition to “accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.” (Romans 15:7, NIV)

 

ACC has been a vital part of the local landscape for over 100 years. We remember and are grateful for all those who helped us to become who we are today while we look forward to the way we will grow and change to meet the needs of the community into the future.

 

We hope you will consider joining us one Sunday!
