Beyond Welcome

Beyond Welcome is a congregational ministry at MPLC. The group is striving to become Reconciling in Christ approved. 

Reconciling in Christ  Congregations are made up of Lutherans "working with the recognition that racism, sexism, ageism, able-ism, heterosexism, homophobia, and all the other artificial distinctions that seek to raise one group into privilege and preference over another, conspire together to diminish our world and church."

Our Mission

Support and equip through conversation, education, understanding and acceptance, the invitation and welcome to our congregation to all who are seeking community regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression or relationship status, race or culture, economic circumstances or anything that could divide us pursuing the “Reconciling in Christ” (RIC) model for congregations and advocating for full welcome and inclusion at Mount Pleasant Lutheran church.
