About Zumbro Lutheran Church

You are welcome here
Zumbro's Annual Meeting Feb. 9, 2014, included action on a proposed statement of welcome. Members of the congregation shared their opinions via open discussion and a spectrum ballot. The Church Council listened to these opinions, and after much discussion and time in prayer, voted unanimously to adopt the following (slightly amended) welcome statement and, in so doing, to become a Reconciling in Christ Church.
Zumbro Lutheran Church warmly welcomes all people into this Christian community of sinners and saints. This welcome is at the heart of Christ's ministry of reconciliation. Every person is a unique and valuable creation of God. Because God loves us, we are called to love one another. We invite people of every age, economic condition, ethnic and racial background, physical and mental ability, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity into our fellowship. In striving to create a place for all, we affirm what the Apostle Paul writes in Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus."
