Matthew 5:16 says, "In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do, and praise your Father who is in heaven." Our Church Council met on Thursday, March 2, and approved the following: Our congregation, Milford Hills UMC, has decided to become a Lighthouse Congregation of The Western North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church in partnership with The United Methodist Collective. In doing so, we not only commit to remaining a part of The United Methodist Church but also to serving those who have lost their church homes through disaffiliation or closure. We will partner in this work by providing a welcoming place, offering ministry opportunities, helping organize remnant groups in our community, and assisting individuals and groups in discerning their next steps as they find a new church home.
If your home congregation has disaffiliated and you are looking for a safe harbor, a safe space to continue to be United Methodist while praying and discerning where God is leading you in the future, Milford Hills UMC is that space for you. You are invited to join us for worship, for missions, for fellowship and just be. We can help you heal, revive your hope in the church, and sense God's presence once again.
We love you. We care about you. We're here for you.
