OPEN AND AFFIRMING STATEMENT

The Orinda Community Church, United Church of Christ, was established as a community church, inviting all who seek to know the God of Jesus Christ to join our faith journey.  Trusting in the power of God's reconciling love, we renew our founding mission, affirming each individual as a child of God.  We open our family of faith to persons of every ability, age, ethnicity, family or economic status, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual or cultural origin, or any other visible or invisible difference.  In the spirit of Jesus, we joyfully welcome all to full participation in the life of our church.
