Covenant of Inclusiveness

Springboro United Church of Christ is an open, affirming, and inclusive congregation, embracing diversity and affirming the dignity and worth of all people: every race, ethnic background, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, political affiliation, socio-economic background, marital status, family structure, and faith background.  In our community of faith, all are invited and encouraged to participate fully and share in the leadership, ministry, worship, sacraments, responsibilities, blessings, and joys of our church family.  We commit to being a community of faith and spirit that works toward openness and understanding, offering justice, healing, and wholeness of life for all people.  Through our diversity, we all can grow and practice a unity of faith that transcends our differences. Our church acknowledges God’s unconditional acceptance of everyone, with all being equal in his eyes, by affirming that all are equal in this church, with no exceptions.
