BELONGING & INCLUSION

YOU BELONG HERE

​

At the Historic St. Paul AMEC, we believe the body of Christ includes every ability, every story, and every person.  You are not an afterthought here - you belong.

 

We are committed to creating a church where individuals and families of all abilities are welcomed, valued, and supported as we grow together in faith.

​

OUR JOURNEY:

We are actively growing in how we serve individuals and families with disabilities.  While our building currently has limitations-such as not yet having fully accessible restrooms or dedicated quite spaces-our desire is to remove barriers wherever we can and to ensure that everyone who enters feels seen, respected and loved. 

​

Our journey is ongoing, and we are taking meaningful steps forward.

​

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

  • A warm, loving, and flexible congregation.

  • A willingness to listen and respond to individual and family needs.

  • A spirit of patience, dignity, and respect.

  • People who are committed to walking alongside you - not ahead of you.

​

We may not have everything in place yet, but we will do our best to serve you with care and compassion. 

​

GROWING THROUGH PARTNERSHIP:

We are grateful to be learning and growing through our partnership with Joni and Friends, as we seek to become a more accessible and inclusive church for all.

​

LET'S CONNECT:

If you or your family have specific needs or questions before your visit, we would love to connect with you.  Please reach out so we can do our best to support you and help you feel at home. 

​

HELP US GROW:

We welcome your feedback as we continue to grow in accessibility and inclusion.  Your voice helps us become a better church for everyone.
