Centenary is an
Affirming
Congregation,
one of approximately 30 such United Church
congregations across Canada.
We are a community of Christians who have chosen
to make a public commitment, in the name of Jesus Christ,
to being a safe and positive
family of faith,
which extends acceptance,
offers
support,
and seeks
divine justice for:
-
The
marginalized
in our society
-
Those with
chronic illness
-
Those with
extraordinary challenges,
be they physical, emotional or mental and
-
Those who are
gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender
This does
NOT mean that we are
ONLY a congregation for the GLBT community.
It
means that we are
a
Community of Welcome for anyone
and especially for anyone who has not felt welcome
elsewhere,
whatever the reason.
We
are committed to:
