Statement from church council:
At a special meeting of the Church Council held on June 19, 2023; after thoughtful discussion and careful deliberation, the Council voted unanimously to remain as United Methodists and not enter the discernment process for disaffiliation.
At this time, nothing about our congregation or denominational life will change. If you have further questions or concerns, please get in touch with Pastor David or a member of the church council directly.
Thank you
