This ally stole was created in recognition of our church becoming a Reconciling Congregation in 2010. Following a lengthy discernment process, the membership of Minnetonka United Methodist Church voted to adopt a Welcoming Statement by an overwhelming majority. Our statement reads:
The vision of Minnetonka United Methodist Church is to follow Christ’s example and, as a Reconciling Congregation, to welcome persons of all sexual identities and orientations into this faith community.
We are the 20th church in Minnesota to become a Reconciling Congregation. Since then, our church membership has continued to grow. Let this stole bear witness to our hope for the full inclusion of all God’s family in the life and work of the church.
