WELCOME, VISITORS & GUESTS Overbrook, as part of The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), “shall welcome all persons who respond in trust and obedience to God’s grace in Jesus Christ and desire to become part of the membership and ministry of his Church. No persons shall be denied membership because of race, ethnic origin, worldly condition, or any other reason not related to profession of faith. Each member must seek the grace of openness in extending the fellowship of Christ to all persons … Failure to do so constitutes a rejection of Christ himself and causes a scandal to the gospel.  [Book of Order:  The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), G-5.0103 “Inclusiveness”]
