This Pride Month, and every month, we're celebrating the sacred worth, giftedness, and belovedness of LGBTQIA2S+ people throughout the Inland West Mission Center and beyond.

In 2013, Community of Christ in the United States took an important step toward greater inclusion by approving the ordination of people in same-sex relationships and authorizing same-sex marriage where legal. While we continue to learn and grow, these actions reflected our commitment to honoring the worth of all persons and creating communities where everyone can fully participate in the life of the church.

As part of that commitment, we're excited to launch a new section of our website dedicated to Welcoming & Affirming resources. This page will feature educational materials, book recommendations, worship resources, information about Harmony, and tools to help individuals and congregations deepen their understanding and practice of Christ-centered hospitality.

We believe all people are created in the image of God and are invited to share their gifts, leadership, and ministry in the community of faith.

Whether you're exploring these topics for the first time, looking for resources, or seeking a welcoming spiritual home, we invite you to journey with us.
