BHCUMC Mission Statement:
Our mission is to welcome all people as they are, to grow together in Christian faith and fellowship, and to share Christ-like love in word and deed.
The youth of Beverley Hills Community United Methodist Church are committed to being a Reconciling Youth Group in
– Staying open-armed, open-minded, and open-hearted to all people
– Supporting the marginalized and using privilege to lift others up
– Becoming more Christ-like through our words and actions
Tolerance is not enough; actively advocating for oppressed communities must be part of what we do. We believe in a God who is more than tolerant, whose powerful love we seek to embody and spread, as good people and good neighbors. We accept all people as they are,trans or cis, straight or not, Christian or other, regardless of ethnic or socio-economic background. There should be no norm in society nor in the church. We will strive to learn more everyday and to become better, to become more Christ-like as the world changes around us.
Our mission is to welcome all people as they are; to grow together in Christian faith and fellowship; to share Christ-like love in word and deed; and to live like this everyday.

Congrats to the Youth Group for having the courage to speak up for real moral leadership and self-sacrificing service to humanity.
Compare this with the statements we hear from our so-called “national leaders” every day. The rest of us had better fight hard to bridge the gap and keep democracy and human decency afloat until we can get real societal leaders like these fine young people into the positions where they can lead our failing nation and a troubled world out of our self-created morass into a better future for everyone!
