Be a Part of Something Bigger
Connecting to the Divine, to each other, & to the world
Connect
with Each Other
When we say all are welcome, we mean it. You have a place here no matter your background, unique quirks, political beliefs, gender identity, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sense of spirituality, faith background (or lack thereof), or whatever else.
We just ask that you be open-hearted to others as well.
God's Beloved Community is for all!
Engage
with Faith
We may not have all the answers, but we love the questions and the conversations that can come from them!
Faith can be a struggle. At LCM we get that and honor your journey, walking with you wherever you are at today.
We believe that growing in our connection with God leads us to greater love and connection to the world around us.
Respond
with Love in Action
Faith leads us to loving our neighbors as ourselves. Jesus says that all of the laws and the prophets (or in other words, the big stuff of the Bible) teach us how to love God and love other people.
We are Called by God to move through our lives from a place of love, especially for those who are struggling and oppressed (and to accept help when it's us!), as well as for those who we may consider our enemies.

Land Acknowledgement
LCM exists on the MSU campus and as such we join their voice in acknowledging the Native Peoples on whose ancestral lands we do this work:
Minot State University gratefully acknowledges the Native Peoples on whose ancestral lands we sit. We praise the Anishinaabe and Assiniboine Peoples, as well as the other sovereign nations of the northern plains whose lands encompass North Dakota today: the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation, the Spirit Lake Nation, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, and the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate.
Minot State University is proud that Native men and women have chosen to attend our University and enrich it with their knowledge and achievements.
