Runnymede United Church is an Affirming Congregation, recognized by Affirm United for the process of reflection and education that we undertook as a congregation and our overwhelmingly positive vote to live into this identity. We are committed to radical welcome and inclusion of all people without judgement or prejudice, to make this a place where all of God’s people belong. Our two-campus church is a safe space for 2SLGBTQ+ people.
