RINGSTEAD BAPTIST (SHARED) CHURCH
Inclusivity Statement
This statement was agreed at the Church Meeting held on Wednesday 15 November 2023:
“We believe in a Church which reflects the love of Jesus Christ, who welcomed and accepted
all without discrimination.
Like Jesus we celebrate and affirm every person as being made and loved by God, so we
challenge discrimination, value everyone and are accessible to all.
We believe everyone should have a safe place in God’s family, and we especially care for and
welcome those who have been marginalised.
We believe in a Church where we can discuss matters freely. We do not let differences of
opinion harm our relationships with each other.
We hope and pray that everyone finds their placed in a Jesus-centred community here.”
