Gethsemane's Affirmation of Welcome
EXPERIENCE GOD’S WELCOME!
Gethsemane Lutheran Church is a Christ-centered, welcoming
community. We share God’s abundant love through worship,
learning, fellowship, friendship and service to others. We
recognize the uniqueness of every individual and welcome
everyone, just as God welcomes, embraces, protects, and cares
for persons of every race, culture, belief, national origin,
gender, gender identity, age, marital status, family structure,
sexual orientation, economic circumstance, and physical or
mental ability. God’s welcome is the inspiration and model for
our welcome.
Visitors to Gethsemane will find a diverse people – all hungry
for God’s good news, forgiveness, and peace; many with
questions and doubts. We seek to fulfill God’s call for justice
for all creation, relying on God’s forgiveness, Jesus’ example,
and the Spirit’s guidance. Although we are different in many
ways, we are one body, bound together in Christ. All are
welcomed into the full life and ministry of this Lutheran
congregation.
There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or
free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one
in Christ Jesus. Galations 3:28.
