Reconciling in Christ
We passed a new welcoming statement on May 19, 2019, and are now listed in the directory of Reconciling in Christ congregations, which in our denomination, The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, is a list of congregations fully welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ+ folks. We are proud to have members of the LGBTQ+ community both on staff and as members.
Here is our statement:
"The love and mercy of God move us to welcome all who have ever felt excluded because of race, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, physical or mental challenges, addictions, imprisonment, economic status, family status, or anything that might divide us. Whatever your country of origin or ancestry, wherever you are on your journey of faith, we welcome you. Our unity is in Christ. "
