What To Expect

God loves everyone, no exceptions. We are the largest Christian queer affirming ministry on the campus of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Our community centers the unconditional love of God and is marked by a commitment to integrity, curiosity, and creating belonging for one another and our neighbors. There’s a place for you here, just as you are. See below for what to expect in our community and the things we value together.

Bring your questions and curiosity. This shows up in our worshipping life, small groups, and in our retreats and events. We intentionally make room for a good amount of wrestling with scripture and theology. We celebrate and wonder about the way God shows up in creation, and in the human beings that are a part of it. We need all students with their diversity of identities and curiosities and messiness and certainties.

Our weekly worship, pause, is on Wednesday’s at 8pm. We call it pause because it’s like taking a big deep breath in the middle of the week. The atmosphere is quite casual and people wear the same clothes they wore all day. There will be art, singing, scripture, conversation and storytelling, and a message from Pastor Kate. We share Holy Communion each week, and everyone is welcome to participate. If you are new to the tradition and would like to talk to someone about our worship first, please email Pastor Kate. 

LCM-TC is the largest Christian queer affirming ministry on the campus of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. We proclaim that in our wide welcome we get a taste of God’s abundant love for each of us and all of us.

Our community, and each of our partner churches on campus are reconciling churches, and the gifts of queer folks are witnessed in leadership, and celebrated and integrated into the life of the community. God delights in our diversity and stretches our imaginations about what true community looks like. Our unity is in Christ. Learn more about the work of Reconciling Works here.
