Garden Street United Methodist Church extends to all the hand of friendship and faith, believing every person is of sacred worth. We commit ourselves to the hospitality Jesus taught, by creating a place of safety and spiritual sanctuary for people in all stages of their faith journey. We are enriched by people of all ages, racial or ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, political affiliations, economic levels, mental or physical conditions, biblical interpretations, and family structures. We gather for worship, study, and fellowship and we disperse to spread God’s love in the community. As we strive to become a church of full inclusion, we will continue to engage with one another and celebrate our similarities and differences. We encourage ourselves and challenge our denomination to truly embrace “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.”
