Social Justice

Woodlake UMC seeks to make the love of Jesus accessible to people of all races, colors, national origins, ethnicities, ages, genders, disabilities, economic conditions, sexual orientations, gender identities, or religious affiliation. We affirm that no identity or culture has more legitimacy than any other. We affirm all persons as equally valuable in the sight of God. We therefore work toward societies in which each person’s value is recognized, maintained, and strengthened.
