Statement on Mental Health
Jesus calls us to cross religious and social boundaries and to break walls that exile us from each other. In many instances individuals with mental health concerns are exiled socially and spiritually due to fear, prejudice, and ignorance. At Church on Main, we proclaim that individuals with mental health concerns bear the image of God, are beloved members of our faith community, and offer countless gifts as members of the Body of Christ. We seek to be a safe faith community where we support one another through challenges associated with mental health, offering each other hope and compassion.
Approved by the Church on Main board on July 22nd, 2019.
