You can probably walk into any church on Sunday morning and get a smile and a welcome but are YOU truly being welcomed?

Are you able to be loved just the way you are? 

Are you able to disagree with others and still be loved and appreciated? 

Are you able to be your true self?

I've grown at Middletown Christian Church.

How? 

By stepping through my bubble and making myself known. Reading challenging books together. Supporting children's ministry through mission work and Sunday morning small groups.

How though? 

With love and encouragement from others.

Why? 

Because I want to be better. I'm going to have good and bad days. Do over days. I'm going to continue to fight for what's right. I want the world to know we can do better, always. One of the ways I can do these things is by leaning on others that accept me for me. 

I want my children to be in a church of love and encouragement that accepts the many spicy things we're made of. I want them to know it's ok to ask questions and disagree with others. I want them to know that our church is a safe place. A place they can go to if mom or dad is not the one they want to talk to. They have people they can have hard conversations with and know they'll be listened to. 

If you didn't know, I absolutely love my church and I'm so thankful I have a seat at Middletown Christian Churches table. 

When you walk through our doors/hearts and into our home please know that you are truly accepted for the person you are. Truly.
