Our Mission

Our ONA Mission Statement

Jesus said: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Paul wrote: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male or female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

Taking scripture as our guide, and mindful of our mission to be a caring community, we acknowledge, accept and affirm that all people are equal children of God. We welcome into the worship, work and fellowship of this congregation all people.

People of every race and mixture of races.
People of every ethnic background and nationality.
People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and straight.
People in any economic situation.
People, regardless of physical or mental prowess or limitation.
Trusting in God’s grace and with the hope of guidance from the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to strive to fulfill this affirmation.
