Free United Methodist Church Separation Guide:

What Your Church Needs To Do Now

By June 2022, the United Methodist denomination and its current member churches will look completely different than they do today. With a proposed separation plan on the table and the vote delayed due to COVID-19, churches now have an unexpected window of opportunity to decide who they want to be, where they want to go and how they plan to get there.

You do not have to wait for the vote to start taking steps towards your future. In fact, whether you want to stay in the UMC or leave, now is the time to take steps to protect your congregation and set yourself up for the years to come.

IS YOUR CHURCH ONE OF THE 32,000 THAT’S TAKING A “WAIT AND SEE” APPROACH?

PLAN FOR YOUR CHURCH’S FUTURE

The United Methodist denomination has advised local churches to wait for the General Conference before taking any action. But is that the right thing to do?

We don’t think so.

Doing nothing in hopes that the issues dividing the UMC will simply blow over is risky. A failure to plan now for the future will almost certainly be a mistake later.
