We believe faith is a lifelong journey. Your support helps promote healing and positive self-esteem for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people of faith. Your membership helps sustain ministries that the Lutheran church bodies are not yet willing to participate in. Our ministries include the Reconciling in Christ program to help communities of faith be more intentionally inclusive and Families Concerned, an outreach for family and friends of people of sexual and gender minorities.

Your support adds your voice as we advocate for positive change within the Lutheran churches. We actively initiate communication; offer education about sexual orientation issues at national, synod or district, and local church levels; and sponsor special conferences and events.
By joining ReconcilingWorks you also support local chapters who receive a portion of your membership fee, which are the only dues local chapters receive. Membership also includes a subscription to Concord, our quarterly newsletter which features both local and international news, as well as interviews and communication from leaders across North America. As a member, you have access to resources that are not otherwise available.
