Reconciling Ministries

On October 17, 2010, at a Church Conference the membership of Minnetonka United Methodist Church voted to became a Reconciling Congregation.

As a resource to other churches, below you can find a written summary of the process we followed in 2010 to make this change. Members of the Reconciling Ministries team are willing to assist other local United Methodist Churches who are exploring this decision.

Our church is a member of both:

the national Reconciling Ministries Network. http://www.rmnetwork.org/
representatives from local United Methodist churches working together for change in Minnesota: http://www.mnrcumc.org/

Going forward, this group will present programs to the church and the community that will promote a better understanding of the challenges faced by members of the GLBT community within the denomination and society.

The creation story as featured in the stained glass windows of Minnetonka United Methodist Church.

In the beginning

when God created the heavens and the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said "let there be light....

On the second day

Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters and let it separate the waters from the waters... God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning.

On the third day

Let the waters under the sky be gathered together in one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so. God called the dry land Earth and the waters that were gathered together were called seas. And God saw that it was good.

On the fourth day

God made two great lights.. to rule over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness.....

On the fifth day

Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let the birds fly....

On the sixth day

So God created humankind in his image...

and on the seventh day

...So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.

We invite you to join us this Sunday for worship at Minnetonka United Methodist Church.
