Richfield UMC is an accessible building.

 


Love Your Neighbor (LYN) is the theme for the final year of CTW, and is designed to equip and empower Reconciling volunteers to engage telling their stories and building relationships with General Conference delegates.

 

 


 

Affirmation

As an independent voice of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer people (LGBTQ), Affirmation radically reclaims the compassionate and transforming gospel of Jesus Christ by relentlessly pursuing full inclusion in the Church as we journey with the Spirit in creating God's beloved community.

 


Methodist Federation for Social Action

The mission of the Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA) is to mobilize, lead and sustan a progressive United Methodist movement that energizes people to be agents of God's justice, peace and reconciliation.  MFSA envisions a healed, renewed and fully inclusive UMC, which embodies God's transforming love and grace in the world.

 


Reconciling Ministries Network

The mission of the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) is to mobilize United Methodists of all sexual orientations and gender identities to transform our Church and world into the full expression of Christ’s inclusive love. Toward that end, RMN developed the five-year Called to Witness (CTW) campaign, which is based on the understanding that people don’t change - until they hear other people’s stories and get to know one another.
