Purpose of the Coalition

Pride Flag.

The Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches is a collaboration of more than 80 churches and other ministries in the Chicago metropolitan area which welcome and affirm people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We have two goals:

  • To spread the message of our members' LGBTQ-inclusion across the Chicago metropolitan area, mindful that a positive message about sexual and family diversity is a gift to all people.
  • To connect the leaders, members, and guests of our partner churches for fellowship and education, enabling support and resource-sharing for the practices of faithful welcome.

Other Information

Lake View Lutheran Church, and the Metropolitan Chicago Synod, is a Reconciling in Christ Church, and a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). Reconciling in Christ Lutherans seek the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of faith.

We are a community that rejoices in our diversity and shares a common commitment to grow and to serve, to celebrate the gift of life, and to use our individual gifts to make the world a better place.

We believe that God is a mystery ... a mystery, like our own lives, to be experienced and entered into, not a puzzle to be solved. That's why we honor questions as much as answers. We seek to explore the mysteries of our lives and of the world around us.
