Congratulations to Kalamazoo Community of Christ: Our Newest Welcoming & Affirming Congregation!1/20/2025 We are thrilled to share that there is another affirming congregation in the world.
The Kalamazoo Community of Christ Congregation, located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, (Michigan Mission Center), is the newest Welcoming and Affirming member congregation in Community of Christ! The congregation successfully completed Harmony's Welcoming & Affirming Program on Sunday, January 19, with the official adoption of their welcoming statement: We celebrate the diversity God has created and seek to reflect that in our faith community. We strive to be a safe space and invite LGBTQIA2S+ persons to fully participate. We affirm the worth of all persons. All are created in God’s image and loved unconditionally. Each person enriches our fellowship. Welcome! On behalf of the Harmony Board of Directors, we wish to extend our sincerest gratitude to the dedicated members of the Kalamazoo Congregation for prioritizing this holy work. May your ministry be blessed! Please join us in congratulating the Kalamazoo Congregation for their commitment to inclusion in our beloved denomination. Consider connecting with them via email ([email protected]) to share any words of encouragement and gratitude. You may also consider making a donation directly to their congregation for their dedication to this holy work. Special thanks to Harmony Facilitator Linda Stanbridge for her support to the congregation throughout their participation in the program. We are encouraged by the growing number of congregations participating in our Welcoming & Affirming Program, and we look forward to sharing more good news like this!
