We are a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation. The RIC program is for Lutheran communities that publicly welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
As a reconciling congregation, we understand “that racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, heterosexism, homophobia, and all the other artificial distinctions that seek to raise one group into privilege and preference over another, conspire together to diminish our world and church.” (from the ReconcilingWorks website)
In adopting an RIC approved statement of welcome, Trinity has committed to being a safe space for all people to explore and live out a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our statement of welcome is as follows:
Trinity Lutheran Church is a congregation that celebrates our unity as God’s people. We welcome the participation of people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, political persuasions, physical and mental abilities, educational backgrounds, marital or partnered status, and economic conditions—all who want to join in community to honor God and be of service to others. Trinity is a place for all people to shine in their own unique gifts.
