Skyline Church is a progressive United Methodist Church congregation where all people are truly welcome, including many who are typically shunned in other churches. We accept people where they are in their spiritual journey and encourage them to grow in grace and share the gift of their lives with others, in the power of Jesus Christ. All people are welcomed into the life and leadership of the church. Examples of leadership include Staff, Lay Leader, worship team, and Sunday School teacher.
Vision: A diverse congregation where people of all ages love God and neighbor.
Mission: Welcome all* into a loving community of believers in Jesus Christ and grow in faith together so we can serve God, one another, and the world.
*All means all, regardless of age, race, ability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other factors that make us unique children of God.
The people that attend Skyline Church include members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as allies. Many people who go to Skyline have family members who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Skyline Church is a Reconciling Ministries Network congregation, which means that we declare ourselves to be open and affirming. The congregation has a history of more than a decade of welcoming LGBTQ+ individuals to fully participate in the ministries of the church.
The United Methodist Church experienced a great denominational shift toward inclusion in 2024.
- The General Conference eliminated wedding and ordination bans and lifted penalties against LGBTQ+ clergy and advocates for LGBTQ+ inclusion.
- The Revised Social Principles eliminated the discriminatory language that LGBTQ+ people were “incompatible with Christian teaching.”
