UMC Affiliation information

In an effort to provide transparency and education regarding the current denominational issues, a committee of church leaders has developed an informational document in response to some of your concerns and frequently asked questions. This document will be followed up in the coming weeks with a church-wide survey on these matters. We hope you will take time to carefully read through this document in preparation for answering the survey questions.
We are grateful that even in the midst of these uncertain times Tucker First continues to be engaged in vibrant and life-giving ministry. May we trust God to continue this good work and may we pray and discern together as a church in love and grace for one another. |
