We are pleased to announce our newest RIC community – St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in Cedar Rapids, IA!
St. Stephen’s is a delightfully diverse congregation with a heart for local and global mission projects that include providing shelter for homeless families in Cedar Rapids and helping to build a village church in Eritrea.
Pastor Ritva Williams says, “Becoming a Reconciling in Christ congregation is a natural progression for St. Stephen’s which for many years has been committed to welcoming all people. Our public affirmation of welcome and commitment to the full participation of LGBT persons is the logical next step.”

Will you consider helping us support more congregations along their welcoming journey? Your support helps us continue to provide networks, educational resources and training to LGBT Lutherans, allies and over 500 congregations and ministry settings (and rapidly counting) that publicly declare their welcome and affirmation of LGBT people. We can’t do it without you. Please donate or become a ReconcilingWorks member today!
