Excelsior United Methodist Church is a "Reconciling Congregation."
Excelsior United Methodist Church has been a reconciling congregation since 2007. We are on a journey in becoming more wholly Christian, welcoming all to worship and share life's journeys in our intergenerational congregation. LGBT persons and their families will find a warm welcome in our Sunday School groups, our youth groups and confirmation classes, our womens and mens groups, our outreach and mission groups, and our social groups. Inclusivity is a prime, practiced ideal at EUMC.
In October 2009, we hosted the renowned Shower of Stoles, a display of ministerial stoles donated by persons whose sexual orientation or practice interfered with their vocation to the ministry. Members of our congregation have marched in solidarity in the annual Twin Cities Pride Parade the past two years. We also sponsor an annual Reconciling Sunday worship service, reminding ourselves of our commitment to reconciling ministry and encouraging our surrounding community to become aware of LGBT issues and the joys of diversity in congregations.
