All Are Welcome Video Statement

"Now that we’re moving back to small in-person services, let’s keep in mind, whether hearing this for the first time or the one-hundredth time, that here at Imago Dei we embrace and try to fully live out the idea that all are welcome. With that comes messiness, including, but not limited to, crying babies, people walking in late, technical difficulties, people getting up for coffee, loud off-key singers, people interrupting service, yelling children, loud conversations at less-than-ideal times, people getting up for coffee again, potentially uncomfortable comments during scripture discussion, and the list goes on. And that’s okay. Because here at Imago we don’t just do church together on a Sunday morning. We do life together. And life is messy and uncomfortable and awkward. That said, awkward as we may be, we value the safety of our Imago family. To see to that safety, we have an amazing security team that is physically present every Sunday morning, along with many others that are in constant conversation about the well-being of our community. So rest assured that you’re being loved and cared for from behind the scenes, whether in person or online, and let’s delight in the presence of each other, mess and all!"
