What does it mean to be RIC?

1) Clearly state a welcome to people of “all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions” or “LGBTQIA+”
and name its commitment to “racial equity” or “anti-racism” in a Welcome Statement.

2) Be open to calling LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC (Black, Brown, Indigenous, Person of Color) Rostered Leaders.

3) Allow sanctuary/community space to be used for LGBTQIA+ weddings and blessings.

4) Make a meaningful contribution annually to support the national RIC program.

We are officially an RIC Partner Church!

Christ Lutheran Church is proud to announce we have become a full RIC Partner, as established by an overwhelming majority vote at our Congregational Meeting on 11/16/2025! Read on to learn more about what that means.
