In 2017 our congregation took time for intentional conversation about what it means to be a welcoming community. In addition to one-on-one conversations and small group discussions we invited one of our partners in ministry to lead us in a bible study. After many months of discernment the congregation voted at our annual meeting (January 21, 2018) to adopt a new welcoming statement and join the coalition of Lutheran churches who are known as Reconciling In Christ.
