Where Things Stand
Much has happened in the last ten months. After two lengthy discernment processes, Leo United Methodist Church voted to disaffiliate from the denomination last February 19th. That vote to leave was overwhelmingly affirmative. As a result of the vote, many tasks needed to be completed in order to meet the criteria for successful disaffiliation. Many of them have been completed, some remain. All will be completed on time. What that means is that effective July 1st, we will no longer be Leo United Methodist Church. In the meantime, we are prayerfully considering what the new name of our church should be. We are also praying about whether or not to affiliate with a new denomination or to remain an independent church. Please continue to watch the website for further developments.
Here's what hasn’t changed. We are a people committed to share the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others and we will do it joyfully and unapologetically. It’s a new day in the history of our church. An exciting new day! To borrow from a pop-culture song, our future’s so bright, we’ve gotta wear shades.
