Congratulations to the Bay City, MI Congregation - Our Newest Welcoming & Affirming Congregation!

More good news from Harmony! There is another affirming congregation in the world!

The Bay City Community of Christ Congregation, located in Bay City, MI, USA, is the newest Welcoming and Affirming member congregation in Community of Christ! The congregation successfully completed Harmony's Welcoming & Affirming Program with a formal business meeting vote. You can read their approved welcome statement below:

You are welcome! We embrace Christ’s commandment to love our neighbor and affirm the worth of all people. We try to provide a safe and welcoming place for LGBTQIA2S+ persons. We recognize each person as whole, sacred, and unconditionally loved by God. Responding to God’s call, we affirm and include each one and invite your full participation in our congregation. We are blessed by your presence.
