St. Matthew’s is a passionate, imperfect community of Christ. We boldly affirm people of all cultures, ages, abilities, stories and experiences, skin tones, sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. We trust in the ridiculous love of God that shows no partiality. When our unique identities are used to divide or hurt us, we are committed to reconciliation and healing so that justice, racial equity, grace, and inclusion continue to be our way of life.

St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church Land and Labor Acknowledgment

We, the people of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, acknowledge that we gather on the traditional ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples who still live here. We honor their stewardship of these lands and enduring cultural heritage.

We acknowledge our debt to enslaved Indigenous and African people and to exploited workers past and present whose labor was and continues to be stolen by unjust practices. To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge their lasting mark on the land where we gather today.

We acknowledge that this statement is one step as we commit ourselves to the long-term work of reconciliation and justice. Guided by God’s love for all people, we will continue to re-educate ourselves by learning about and listening to the histories and experiences of all peoples, especially in our city and region. Led by the Holy Spirit, we commit to responsible stewardship of the land and to develop respectful and meaningful relationships to heal generational wounds.
