• The United Methodist Church has seen thousands of congregations disaffiliate over the past three years following changes to its traditional stance on marriage and sexuality.

The decision follows years of internal division over the denomination’s shifting positions on marriage and human sexuality. Church leadership has cited a desire to remain faithful to biblical teaching.

“We believe it is time for our church to take a clear stand on the authority of Scripture and the historic Christian understanding of marriage,” said one senior pastor in a statement to members.
