Recently, the Executive Committee of the Evangelical Covenant Church voted to advance to the 2023 Annual Meeting the “involuntary removal” of both Awaken Church and Quest Church over their positions and practices around LGBTQ+ inclusion. In light of this action and in solidarity with our LGBTQ+ siblings, we want to say that we stand with Quest and Awaken.

In the midst of so many crises in our nation and world—racism, Christian nationalism, gun violence, rising authoritarianism, antisemitism, global warming—we believe these myopic and punitive actions on sexuality both tarnishes the church’s witness to Christ in the world and does damage to people in the q***r community who already face multiple levels of fear and marginalization.

Decisions to expel communities for their inclusive stance demonstrates a narrow vision and diminishes our denomination’s historic and hard-won commitment to freedom in Christ; and as a community that holds to the same stances as Awaken and Quest (see our welcome policy below), we believe it is necessary to speak clearly about who we are: we believe another way is possible—one that does not resort to exclusion or excommunication, but seeks the difficult, messy, and beautiful work of living life together with our differences.

It was our sincere prayer and hope that our denominational leaders would have chosen that other way and sought to unite rather than divide.

At ResCov, in the midst of our many imperfections, we will continue to seek after that more unitive and generative space rooted in both God’s expansive welcome of grace which we experience weekly at the table, and in our denomination’s commitment to freedom in Christ.
