Welcome Statement

We, Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church (ELCA) believe that God creates every human being in God's own image endowing each person with sacred worth. We believe that Jesus' message of love is central to our faith. We believe that the Holy Spirit calls us to value the gifts and graces of each person, to welcome all who come to fully participate in the life of the church, and to reject discrimination and exclusion however expressed.   We believe that God intends the church to be an inclusive community which embodies love, grace and justice for all people. We, of Dungeness Valley Lutheran Church (ELCA), welcome and affirm all persons without regard to gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation, national origin, age, physical or mental ability, marital status, economic condition, or anything else which might divide or exclude.  In our quest to follow the example of Jesus, we commit ourselves to loving acts of invitation, hospitality, and reconciliation; providing ministry to, for, and with all persons.
