Rugby Methodist Church Centre joined the Inclusive Church Network in the summer of 2024 as part of it's commitment being a growing, evangelistic, inclusive and justice-seeking church.

RMCC is passionate about inclusion and seeing everyone as made in the image of God. We seek to be a diverse, inclusive, accepting, welcoming and safe space for everyone. We will not always get things right but know that the continual commitment to inclusion is a life-long journey of learning not a destination. We are delighted that the church is registered to celebrate same-sex marriages.

As part of the Inclusive Church network we agree that:

“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”

In June 2024 we took part in Rugby Pride and had some amazing conversations about our "God is love" banner.  On the Sunday or Pride weekend we held an Inclusive Celebration.

Following on from our even in June in on 23rd December 2024 we held our first Queer Carols; a relaxed and informal worship 

opportunity where we celebrated the message of Christmas and that we are all included in the love of God.  We are planning to mark LGBT history month with a special event at 7pm on Sunday 16th February, more details to follow.
