North Guilford Congregational Church
Open and Affirming Covenant
We covenant with God and each other to live and love as Jesus taught. Following Christ’s example, we strive to be an all-embracing community, welcoming people of any age, economic status, ethnicity, family structure, gender, gender identity or expression, marriage status, mental or physical ability, race, sexual orientation, or theological tradition-without exceptions, without exclusions. This covenant upholds the right for all to participate equally and fully in every aspect of the life, ministry, and sacraments of the church. With open hearts and minds, we strive for reconciliation as we seek to become the fully inclusive community of faith that God calls us to be.

A deacon is available to help folks get downstairs on the elevator after church so you can join us for coffee. A gender neutral, wheelchair-accessible bathroom is located downstairs. Speakers are mounted in multiple pews; look for them if you need extra audio amplification. All bread at communion is gluten free.
