Lutheran Church of the Master welcomes you just as you are! We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, celebrating LGBTQIA+ people as created in God’s image.
AFFIRMATION OF WELCOME
Too often, the church has been a place of exclusion. We seek to be a place of healing, and a place of grace.
Lutheran Church of the Master is an open and affirming congregation that welcomes all people, inclusive of all sexual orientations. Our message to the LGBTQIA+ community is that your faith is a gift of love. God is love! God made us good. The Spirit empowers us for lives of love. Together we celebrate the message of God's inclusive love.
We are grateful to be able to officiate at LGBTQIA+ marriages. We believe that God is constantly and with equity blessing, supporting, encouraging all mutually loving human relationships.
The rainbow candles on the altar are a symbol in worship of Lutheran Church of The Master’s affirmation of welcome for LGBTQIA+ people. All people are welcome at Lutheran Church of The Master.
In 2009 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, our national church, voted to allow partnered LGBTQIA+ pastors to serve, and many are now are joyfully serving congregations throughout the United States.
