Vision and Mission
Vision of Presbyterian Welcome
As followers of Christ, convinced by Scripture and the Reformed tradition, we envision a world as inclusive as God’s grace and a church where God’s call to service is affirmed in all persons.
Mission of Presbyterian Welcome
Presbyterian Welcome, a validated ministry, is a community of congregations and individuals in the New York area. Our mission is to build up and repair the Body of Christ by working for the full inclusion of all disciples, without regard to sexual orientation and gender identity. In being a resource for the church we aim to:
- Provide leadership and education for the exploration of human sexuality in a theological framework;
- Reform the Church constitution to remove barriers to inclusion;
- Raise awareness, encourage discipleship and promote welcome in local congregations;
- Witness to God’s faithfulness for those who face difficulty in responding to God’s call;
- Join in partnerships with like-minded organizations to accomplish these goals.
