Believing that we are all equal before God and one another, we affirm a commitment to racial equity. “We affirm this congregation welcomes all people and expects and encourages them to share in the abundant life within this church, rooted in the Word and Sacraments. Ours shall be a safe place for all people. We resolve to identify a “Reconciling in Christ” congregation and resolve to let this welcome be known in appropriate ways. Everybody, everybody, everybody is welcome at Immanuel Lutheran Church.” Immanuel is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
