We are companions in Christ, called nurtured and sent to glorify God by acts of worship, devotion, compassion and justice. We love God and our neighbor through discipleship training and education from the newest to the most experienced generations, service to our community, and justice advocacy.

We affirm that all people are created in the image of God and, as beloved children of God, all are worthy of God’s love and grace, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, race, ethnicity, physical or mental ability, socio-economic status, or age. We unreservedly support and affirm the full inclusion of persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities in all facets of ministry at Northfield UMC, including ordination and marriage. Following Christ’s example, we open our hearts, minds, and doors to welcome all who come to us in God’s grace.
