Benefits of Membership

Become a member online

We believe faith is a lifelong journey. Your support helps promote healing and positive self-esteem for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people of faith. Your membership helps sustain ministries that the Lutheran church bodies are not yet willing to participate in. Our ministries include the Reconciling in Christ program to help communities of faith be more intentionally inclusive and Families Concerned, an outreach for family and friends of people of sexual and gender minorities.

Your support adds your voice as we advocate for positive change within the Lutheran churches. We actively initiate communication; offer education about sexual orientation issues at national, synod or district, and local church levels; and sponsor special conferences and events.

By joining Lutherans Concerned you also support local chapters who receive a portion of your membership fee, which are the only dues local chapters receive. Membership also includes a subscription to Concord, our quarterly newsletter which features both local and international news, as well as interviews and communication from leaders across North America. As a member, you have access to resources that are not otherwise available.

Reasons to Join

  • To be a witness to the church in affirming the inclusiveness of the Gospel
  • To demonstrate your belief in just treatment for all people
  • To support the idea that all people are created in the image of God including people of all sexual orientations and gender identities
  • To join others in being part of a caring community that has helped thousands of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people who were alienated from the Lutheran Church and other denominations find healing and wholeness in the Gospel of Christ
