First Lutheran is currently engaged in the process of becoming a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
In 2019, the congregation took the first step toward becoming an RIC church with the adoption of our Welcoming Statement:
Welcoming in God’s Grace calls us to see God in all people and to open our hearts to them. As a reflection of God’s gracious love, First Lutheran Church welcomes ALL of God’s people with no exceptions! Our faith community invites and welcomes you—regardless of race, national origin, sexual orientation, gender/identity, disability, or economic status—for worship, fellowship, and partnership in ministry.
This next stage of our journey begins with a time of listening, specifically One to One meetings between members of our Core Team and members of the congregation. We see this as a great opportunity for all of us to create relationships, to discuss our values and our callings, and to intentionally discern, with the help of Christ, who we are, now, as a congregation in this new thing that God is doing.
If you would like to schedule a One to One meeting with a member of the Core Team and have not already been approached, please contact Amy Isler.
