A Reconciling in Christ Congregation (RIC)
Prince of Peace is a Reconciling in Christ congregation, a program of Lutherans Concerned/North America, that commits congregations to opening their doors to all people, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.

In 1984 Lutherans Concerned / North America started the Reconciling in Christ ("RIC") Program to recognize Lutheran congregations that welcome lesbian and gay believers. During the 2002 LC/NA Assembly, members took action to include people of all sexual orientations and gender identities in the RIC Program. The Reconciling in Christ Roster now exceeds 300 settings, including congregations, synods and organizations.
