UMC Informational Meetings from 2022As a follow-up to our spring 2022 conversations, Tucker First held three informational sessions on the options available to congregations in the midst of the ongoing denominational divide regarding the ordination and marriage of LGBTQIA+ clergy and congregants. These sessions were intended to provide clear information about the policies and procedures laid out by the North Georgia Annual Conference and the full range of possibilities for Tucker First as a local congregation.

UMC Affiliation information
|
In October 2022, in an effort to provide transparency and education regarding the current denominational issues, a committee of church leaders developed an informational document in response to some of your concerns and frequently asked questions. The TFUMC Affiliation Information Document was followed up with a church-wide survey on these matters. The results of the survey are available here as well.
The North Georgia Conference provided addtional follow up information on their website in June 2023 and we have linked that information here. 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. |
