FUMC West Point Survey Results (PDF)
This website will serve as a central location for our Discernment Team to share relevant information and resources in order to help each of us better understand the complex issues facing The United Methodist Church.
Here we'll share videos, articles, and other resources to help us discern our best next step.
This page is also an evolving platform and will be updated regularly as we walk this journey together.
We encourage you to read through these resources so that you are prepared for discussions, and a survey, as well as helping us know what questions need answering.
Discernment Purpose
As a church, discern the path God is leading West Point FUMC and seek consensus to either:
Remain a United Methodist Church congregation
or
Hold a vote to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church Denomination
Please submit any questions to the Discernment Committee by emailing discernment@fumcwestpoint.com.
You may submit written questions to the church office.
A member of the Discernment Committee will respond as quickly as possible.
