First Parish in Lincoln is an Open and Welcoming community church, affirming the dignity of all people. We welcome all persons to full participation and belonging regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, economic status, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We acknowledge that we still have work to do, and we welcome your advice about how we may be more welcoming. We want to say, truthfully: Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
In June 2023, the Parish Committee commissioned an Open & Welcoming Task Force to advance this commitment as it pertains to affirming the dignity and belonging of LGBTQ+ persons within our congregation and beyond.
The Task Force welcomes your feedback about how our congregation is doing in this area and suggestions for growth. Please submit this form to share your thoughts. Anonymous responses are welcome.
