When he gathered around the table with his friends, Jesus invited them to share bread and wine, symbols of his mission to work for the healing of our world. Calvary Episcopal Church understands that Christ's invitation extends to all people and nations, genders and ethnicities, sexual orientations and economic backgrounds. We celebrate the Great Thanksgiving together each Sunday and Wednesday, and we spend the week laboring for God's vision of reconciliation. You are welcome to come just as you are and join us at the feast which God has prepared.

All God’s Children is a group of Reconciling United Methodists at First UMC of Hendersonville NC, Western North Carolina Annual Conference. We welcome and affirm people of every race, nationality, gender, social condition, economic status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, age, or previous faith experience. We will pursue justice for those who have been marginalized or put at risk as the result of the policies and actions of our nation and our denomination. We will promote full inclusion of our LGBTQ+ siblings in all aspects of ministry, ordination, and marriage. We will be enablers, not obstacles, to those seeking to respond to the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the call to serve in mission and ministry. We will work within the UMC to advocate for full inclusion of all those called to follow Christ and serve as clergy, and we will work on behalf of those seeking social justice by advocating for change in governmental and denominational policies and doctrine as necessary. We will do so by living out our faith through prayer, advocacy, and action at all organizational levels of government and church so that all may find a home marked by the gracious welcoming and inclusion of all in the unified Body of Christ.
