Sixth Church

*We are an open and affirming community of faith in Jesus Christ. At home in an urban neighborhood of many faiths, we acknowledge that we are not alone on the path to understanding God. In worship, study, and fellowship, we celebrate our Presbyterian roots and find joy in our diversity. We strive for the grace to love one another as we seek deeper understanding of life in the Spirit, working for justice and serving as stewards of God’s wondrous creation.

*We actively support the full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people into the whole life and ministry of the church.

*Words matter. Jesus Christ, the living Word, reached out to all people to bring them into God’s fold; therefore our language should reflect the inclusivity and equality among the people of God. When possible, we seek to eliminate the inherent bias of the English language toward the masculine gender without altering passages that reflect the historical situation of ancient patriarchal culture, out of which the Bible originated.
