DIVERSITY&JUSTICE
We are a proudly inclusive Christian community committed to justice, equality, and celebrating the beautiful diversity of God's creation.
VISION STATEMENT
The Diversity and Justice Task Force is a proudly inclusive Christian community of St. Luke Lutheran Church. We encourage all members to participate fully in the life and leadership of the church regardless of age, race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, and economic condition, physical or mental ability. We believe all people are created by God to model the diversity in unity which is the Holy Trinity and we seek to live out that diversity in unity within the faith community.
BIBLICAL AFFIRMATION
We affirm the biblical truth of every human being's inherent dignity and worth, as all people are created in the image of God.
(Genesis 1:27)We affirm that in the Body of Christ there is no distinction or hierarchy according to racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, or social identity and economic status.
(Galatians 3:28)We believe that unity in diversity is not only desirable, but essential to fulfilling God's ultimate desire for God's people, as expressed in scripture, and thus an essential element of seeking God's will on earth as it is in heaven.
