Affirmation of Welcome
Welcome to First United Lutheran Church!
You are welcome here — just as you are.
We are an Open and Affirming community, grounded in Christ’s all-embracing love.
Here, you are cherished, respected, and accepted.
Whether you are young or old; of any race, gender, sexual orientation, or gender expression;
whatever your marital or relationship status; whatever your abilities or social and economic circumstances;
and wherever you are on your faith journey — you are invited to fully participate in the life and leadership
of this church.
Our journey is ongoing. As we walk together in God’s light, we remain open to transformation — not through judgment, but through grace, love, and community.
We celebrate God’s presence among us through scripture, worship, music, and lifelong learning.
Together, we embrace reconciliation and extend hospitality.
We commit ourselves to peace, compassion, respect, and racial equity as we build beloved community.
We believe all people are created in God’s image — and that there is a place for you here.
Welcome home.
