Pride Team
We, the Pride Team at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, are dedicated to fostering a community that embraces and reflects the ridiculous love of God for all people as they are, wholly Holy. We boldly affirm that love always comes first. We embrace hope, compassion, open-mindedness, and the celebration of the journeys of all God’s people. Rooted in the teachings of Christ, we strive to be inclusive of all, honoring and uplifting the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Our mission to joyously, unapologetically, celebrate in the transformative ways God is reflected in our queer, transgender, lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, intersect, plus, siblings. To also engage in community outreach and education to promote acceptance and equity.
We believe in the power of love and faith to bring about positive change, and we are committed to creating a
brave, supportive, and welcoming environment for everyone.
There are so many ways to "Love Louder!"
