Affirming Ministry Statement Of Faith

Parkdale United Church is an inclusive Christian community with a deep yearning for God and God’s vision of equity, justice, and well-being for all. We are guided in our living by our commitment to building connections, living our faith, and acting for justice in the wider community. Our community is a place of safety. We welcome everyone as full and valued participants in the life and work of our church, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and social and economic circumstances. We acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of God’s creation, respecting each other and all of life. We invite all members and adherents to participate in our ministry as they are called and are able. We extend to everyone the opportunity for baptism, marriage, communion, pastoral care, and participation in all other programs that are part of our congregational life.
