Belonging

Racism is a sin, and The United Methodist Church is committed to challenging the unjust power structures that support it and working for equality in all areas of life.

We are a Wesleyan body grounded in a theology of grace. We want to ensure that all can find belonging and inclusion in our global church—no matter race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender or gender identity, ability, or political persuasion. We are one in Christ and committed to being a welcoming people, a reconciling people, a people who seek to heal the wounds caused by the times when we have not fully lived up to our call.

United Methodists stand against racism. The "Dismantling Racism: Pressing on to Freedom” initiative is a multi-level effort throughout the church to initiate a sustained and coordinated effort to dismantle racism and promote collective action to work toward racial justice.

Ministries that reach specific ethnic groups or groups of immigrants are growing throughout The United Methodist Church.

United Methodist Church works to ensure all its spaces consider accessability and inclusiveness
