At Asylum Hill Congregational Church, we are guided and inspired on our individual faith journeys and as a faith community by three statements. These three statements affirm our commitments to and our love for the Creator, this church, each other, our community, and all God’s children. 

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Asylum Hill Congregational Church is to work for the increase in the love of God and neighbor in Jesus Christ through sharing, caring, outreach, and worship.  We  invite all who would be disciples of Jesus to share this privileged task.

Statement of Faith

We believe in God, our Creator and Sustainer, infinite in wisdom and goodness, and in Jesus Christ, our Lord, in whom God’s will is most perfectly revealed.  We believe in the Holy Spirit which, working through us, enables us to respond to all in life that makes for healing, beauty, and love.  We affirm the Bible, diligently and prayerfully studied, as the basic authority for our faith.  We profess support for Christ’s Church, where in a caring community we proclaim the crucified and risen Christ.  We commit ourselves to serve this Church, to take the gospel into the world, and to share with all our hope in life, in this world and in the world to come.  Thanks be to God.  Amen.

Statement on Inclusiveness and Diversity

Because Jesus has taught us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves:

We are open to and affirming of all who wish to share our faith journey, and we welcome people of every race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, economic circumstance, and physical and mental ability into the worship, rites and sacraments, fellowship, and leadership of our church. We recognize and love each and every individual as a child of God. Our faith in Christ Jesus calls us not only to respect our differences but also to work for inclusiveness of all humanity, and to challenge ourselves individually and as a congregation to overcome prejudice, injustice and exclusion.
