The UMC is committed to promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equity for all members of the communities we live in. Brownsville UMC would like to invite others to expand their perspective through the lived experiences of others. It is our hope to share available resources that will provide insight and expand knowledge. It is through truly seeing one another that we can break down the barriers that lead to division and distrust. The UMC offers a variety of resources we invite you to explore: UMC Resources

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fishermen, canoe builders, and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors for future generations as promised by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855.
