A Place For You
You are welcome in the Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church.
Church is comprised of ordinary human beings. For that reason, Church can wound us and hurt us. Recently, many United Methodist Churches across our country have left the denomination. If you have been wounded by disaffiliation or other painful divisions or disagreements within the Church, we want you to know that there is A Place for You in the Indiana United Methodist Church. You are not alone! You are invited to connect with a family of hundreds of congregations and thousands of Jesus-followers across the state.
Indiana Lighthouse Congregations are United Methodist Churches that have received training and made a commitment to welcome and provide spiritual care and support for individuals/groups whose churches have closed or disaffiliated. Lighthouse congregations clearly communicate there’s “A Place for You.”
Looking for a Lighthouse Congregation? The following congregations have received training and are ready to serve you:
Online Gathering Launches October 11
In this challenging season, we want to offer a myriad of ways for you to connect/reconnect. If the way church gathers together isn’t the right fit for you, consider joining something different.
WHAT? A six-week online gathering to forge community, incorporating:
- dialogue and in-depth study of bible stories
- varied prayer practices
- gratitude and celebration
WHY? Because maybe:
- a “message” doesn’t have to be a sermon
- prayer is more than words
- gratitude and celebration aren’t limited to an offering plate
WHO? Those interested in exploring different approaches to Christian community
WHEN? Wednesday evenings, 6:30-7:30 (ET), beginning Oct. 11
