Lutherans Concerned Metro Washington, D.C. (LCMWDC) is composed of straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Lutherans. The chapter stands as a community of faith, modeling the Gospel with the church and within the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) communities. We seek to employ the Gospel's principles of inclusiveness and justice, celebrating God's gifts of sexuality and diversity. Building on the core Gospel concept of grace, the chapter is committed to:

1. The full inclusion of GLBT individuals in the Lutheran Church.
2. Playing an active role in the spiritual lives of GLBT individuals, all Lutheran congregations, regional and national Lutherans Concerned bodies, and the entire GLBT faith community.
3. Enlarging and strengthening the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) program especially in the Metro Washington DC area.
4. Thoughtfully advocating on behalf of the GLBT community within the Lutheran Church.

We yearn to walk hand in hand with our brothers and sisters in Christ without regard to our sexual orientation. This can only be realized when there are no longer barriers to full participation in the church for GLBT individuals.
