The Agape Reconciling Community (ARC) is a part of Reconciling Ministries Network, a United Methodist ministry that equips and mobilizes United Methodists of all sexual orientations and gender identities to work to advance justice and inclusion for all LGBTQ people in The United Methodist Church and beyond.

Having a reconciling community at MPUMC lets our surrounding community know that we welcome and affirm everyone. It also lets the United Methodist Church know that MPUMC has a community of believers who stand with many other reconciling UMC congregations and communities in seeking to change the exclusionary, hurtful language in the UMC Book of Discipline.
