Lake Fellowship is an open-minded, open-hearted spiritual community located in a small A-frame building tucked into the woods in Shorewood, Minnesota. Our Sunday programs are an eclectic mixture of spirituality, philosophy, politics, social issues, and music, presented by outside speakers and Fellowship members. An important part of our meetings is the often spirited and open discussion of program topics. We meet in person and virtually at 10:30am Sundays from the week after Labor Day to the week before Memorial Day.

We are called by God to be a radically inclusive, caring community of faith – offering personal and social transformation though Jesus Christ. We are a reconciling congregation welcoming people of all sexual orientations. We welcome LGBTQI persons in our leadership and in our membership. We will not be the church that claims to follow Jesus and then crucify our GLBTQI sisters and brothers and all who would love and welcome them.

Minnetonka United Methodist Church is a vibrant, growing congregation passionately committed to the full inclusion of all God’s children in its mission and ministry, and to justice, equality and full civil rights for all persons without regard to race, religion, age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

“Faith is a journey, not a destination.” We live that perspective. As an Open & Affirming congregation, we welcome people and families of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We are a warm and supportive community that does its best to reach out to the community and the world, to be God’s people in the way of Jesus Christ. All are welcome to join us in prayer and worship, loving and serving, and working for justice and peace.

We are led by and fully include queer people in all aspects of community life. We've voted on formal statements of affirmation, and regularly welcome LGBTQ+ people as guests and members in worship.
