Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) is an organization within the United Methodist Church that advocates for the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in the life and ministry of the church. RMN works to transform church policies and practices to be more inclusive, affirming, and just. Through education, advocacy, and community-building, RMN seeks to create a church that welcomes and values all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Partnering with Reconciling Ministries Network is crucial because it embodies the core Christian values of love, acceptance, and justice for all people. By becoming a Reconciling Church, we openly affirm our commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, feels welcomed and valued. This partnership not only enriches our faith community but also demonstrates our dedication to creating a more just and loving world.

No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here. We offer safe spaces where all questions asked out of curiosity and a desire for deeper understanding are not only welcomed but essential. Your questions and insights are vital for us to move forward together and create a more inclusive and understanding community.

We have passed to adopt the statement below as a core value of our church. We are listed on the RMN website as a place where all people are seen, valued, and welcomed for who they are!

“We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed. This is consistent with our values at Light of Christ UMC which are, Enthusiastic Discipleship, Being Good Neighbors, Risking to Reach People, Building Bridges, and Empower Equity."
