TRINITY LUTHERAN'S STATEMENT OF WELCOME

All are welcome in this community of Faith

We affirm that each person is a unique creation of God. Made in the image of God and loved by God.

We celebrate and give thanks for God’s artistry and love of diversity revealed in God’s beautiful creation in which God takes delight.

We believe that each person helps us all to recognize and treasure God’s love of diversity. As we come to know and better love one another, we come to know and better love Jesus.

We seek to extend the extravagant hospitality of God made known through scripture and the living gospel of Jesus to ALL people, wherever they are in their faith journey.

We commit to the on-going work against racism and all forms of prejudice, listening to one another’s stories, and pursuing God’s justice, truth and healing for all creation.

We affirm and welcome to our community and ministry all people regardless of race, culture, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ability education and income level, or anything else that too often divides us.

We long for the day when God’s justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24).
