Messiah Lutheran Church approved the following Welcome Statement at a congregational meeting held May 31, 2026. This was also submitted to Reconciling Works so we could be formally recognized as a Reconciling in Christ (RiC) congregation. (Learn more about Reconciling Works HERE.)
At Messiah Lutheran Church we share God’s love and grace. We welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, ethnicities, races, economic status, abilities and all life circumstances.
We recognize that we are all precious in the eyes of God and commit to ongoing work building relationships with God and one another. By embracing inclusion and diversity we grow in faith as followers of Christ.
We continue to work on living out these commitments, in concert with our building partner Crestview United, an Affirming Congregation in The United Church of Canada.
