Values

Our Values:

We Celebrate Christian Faith through thoughtful and challenging worship, opening ourselves to spiritual growth, encouraging all to share their gifts and inspirational music.

We Honour Human Diversity by treating all people with dignity and respect, affirming that gender and sexuality are gifts from God and that all people are made in the image of God, taking action to end all forms of discrimination, building community through events, studies, worship and relationships and providing opportunities to learn about and understand differences.

We Build Community by inviting others to journey with us, extending hospitality to all, accepting and celebrating diversity, respecting and supporting each other and embracing the contributions of all generations.

We Reach Out by actively offering our time, talents and resources; advocating for social justice and ecological justice; demonstrating compassion and living our commitment to service in all our relationships.

Covenant of Respect

The congregation at Westworth is part of the United Church of Canada’s Affirming Ministry Program. We declare our commitment to inclusion and justice for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
