The Bath Church Open and Affirming (ONA) Covenant: The Bath Church, United Church of Christ, is an open and affirming congregation. We welcome and affirm you and all people of every sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, physical or cognitive ability, race, age, ethnicity, family circumstance, and social and economic status to the full life and ministry of our church. We strive to be a safe place, free from the fear of judgment, where wounds can heal, and differences and inclusivity are celebrated. We declare this in the everlasting grace of the Still-Speaking God.

Open and Affirming is the United Church of Christ’s designation for congregations, campus ministries, and other bodies in the UCC that make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
