All persons are recipients of God’s love and grace. We share a faith in Jesus Christ and a commitment to Christianity, and this is our bond. In the spirit of God’s love and following the example of Jesus Christ’s life in action, our church welcomes all people.

We acknowledge the diversity of God’s universe and open our hearts, remembering that Christ loved all God’s children.

We, the members and constituents of the United Methodist Church of Osterville, invite and welcome into our fellowship each unique person of every age, economic status, race, sexual orientation, religious background, and social standing.

The diverse talents and abilities of individuals shall be recognized, celebrated, and given the freedom to grow.

We value and respect all people for their convictions in faith as demonstrated through their actions within our society. As a true Reconciling Congregation, we seek to go beyond this proclamation by encouraging the application of Christ’s teachings and working toward justice for all God’s children.

As Christians, it is our responsibility to share Christ’s love with others. In doing so, we add purpose to our lives and promote greater understanding among all God’s children.
