Our Welcome Statement


As our Lord Jesus Christ calls us to love and accept every person, Duke Memorial United Methodist Church welcomes into our life together those of every age, race, ethnic background, nationality, gender identity, sexual orientation, family or socioeconomic status, educational background, and physical or mental ability. In our commitment to the reconciliation of all persons as beloved children of God, we celebrate our diversity and recognize the sacred worth and dignity of all. We invite you to join us in our faith journey toward discipleship in Christ with mutual respect, understanding, and love.

Anti-Racism

We proclaim simply and surely, "Black Lives Matter."
Duke Memorial is committed to the work of anti-racism and will continue to "love, listen, learn, and leverage" as a congregation so that we may live fully into God's call of justice and peace.
