The community of St. John United Lutheran Church welcomes all persons into
membership, leadership and full participation in the life of our community without
regard to gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, age, ability,
economic status, illness, or other human conditions.

We affirm that Jesus Christ has entrusted the ministry of reconciliation and healing to the Church. We commit ourselves to racial equity and actively seek to include all who have felt excluded or alienated. We see you and affirm who you are.

We respectfully acknowledge that our church, St John United, and many of our
homes are on the unceded land of the Duwamish people, the first stewards of this
land who are still here and continue to acknowledge their ancient heritage.
