Sacred Worth

Sacred Worth is a ministry of LGBTQIA+ individuals, allies and friends that celebrates the sacred worth of all. We believe that all individuals are created in the image of God and all are beloved by God.

Guiding Scripture: Daniel 10:19 He said, “Do not fear, greatly beloved; you are safe. Be strong and courageous”

Mission Statement: To affirm and celebrate the sacred worth of ALL individuals.
Together we strive to create a loving space that affirms the value, integrity, and sacred worth of all, to engage in mutually respectful dialogue with others, and to be beacons of welcome and hope.

Sacred Worth - "You Are Beloved"

Ensuring that ALL feel welcome and affirmed at Christ Church, this is the mission of Sacred Worth. Overcoming challenges along the way, Sacred Worth helps Christ Church chart the path toward reconciliation and inclusion. This work continues as we become a church where all can confidently say, "I am beloved."

Sacred Worth is a proud partner of Reconciling Ministries Network and supports its commitment “to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ+ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church.”

*LGBTQIA+ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual. The + acknowledges the existence of other identities which are not considered heteronormative.
