In May of 2008, our church voted to extend an extravagant welcome to all persons regardless of differences such as race, gender, culture, sexual orientation, physical abilities or age. 

OPEN AND AFFIRMING STATEMENT OF THE WEST AVON CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, UCC

Jesus said "You shall love the Lord your God with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength" and that "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no other commandment greater than these."

We, the members of the
