All are Welcome Here, No Exceptions
Reconciling United Methodist Congregations are:
A NATIONAL NETWORK of churches, groups and individuals which support each other in carrying out their Christian ministry of witness and outreach.
PROCLAIMING AND LIVING OUT the simple, powerful message of hospitality and love revealed by Jesus Christ.
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES which are large and small; urban, suburban, rural; young and old; many races and cultures.
This growing, grass roots movement is transforming the lives of countless individuals and communities.
Since 1984, the Reconciling Congregation movement has grown to more than 861 Reconciling Congregations, Campus Ministries and Annual Conferences. It also encompasses over 34,000 Reconciling United Methodists who publicly witness to “open the doors” of the church to the participation of all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
JOIN US in this vital Christian movement that seeks to fulfill the Biblical teaching that we are to LOVE God and our neighbor as ourselves and to do JUSTICE.

Inclusive Methodists….building a new Church
After more than 40 years of ongoing debate at each of the General Conference meetings of the UMC, once again in 2019 at a Special Session of the General Conference the denomination failed to remove the harmful language and restrictions with respect to LGBTQ persons and instead passed more restrictive legislation. So our work continues to warm hearts and open minds.
We stand ready to assist local churches to determine if they want to join us as advocates for change within the institution and become Reconciling Congregations.
We will reach out in mission to members of the LGBTQ community to welcome them to our churches and to affirm them as children of God.

Pride Parade
Twin Cities Pride is one of the largest Pride Celebrations in the United States. It represents a phenomenal outreach opportunity by our Minnesota Reconciling Congregations to show their support for the LGBTQ community.
