Statement of Reconciliation
The First United Methodist Church of Ellensburg celebrates diversity and welcomes each person who comes here to seek God and Christian love and justice. Because all individuals are of sacred worth and have gifts and talents to offer, we invite all to participate fully in the life of this church regardless of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, national origin, mental or physical abilities, marital status or economic condition.
We desire to bear witness to the life of Christ. As we go on our faith journey together, we celebrate the diversity of God's
people and declare ourselves to be an open, inclusive, and reconciling congregation.
We commit ourselves to seeking opportunities leading to further dialog and experience to understand how we can live out our desire to be inclusive.
We are affiliated with the Reconciling Ministries Network and Pacific Northwest Reconciling Ministries Network.
