Pride Outreach Resources

The Pride Outreach Team, in keeping with Nativity’s RIC commitment, supports and advocates for the LGBTQIA+ community in our congregation and beyond. We work for the loving welcome and full inclusion of our LGBTQIA+ siblings in Christ within the church and take action toward expanding justice, equity, and acceptance everywhere.

OFFERING WELCOME AND INCLUSION FOR ALL

In 2022, Nativity Council passed the resolution that Nativity Lutheran Church become a Reconciling in Christ Congregation. The Nativity community celebrates this important step and gratefully continues the work of welcoming, including, celebrating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people in this faith community and in the greater church.

Part of our commitment involves ensuring welcoming and hospitality in our language and facilities.
