Pastor's Blog - Grace's Work for Full Inclusion

I am part of a group of clergy in the North Texas Conference whose goal is to become a One-Church Conference. This group is called North Texans 4 One Church Plan. Adam and Eric are in that group as well. Eric is part of a team working to get voting lay members to Annual Conference to sign the NT4One Church Covenant of Unity, with the hope that on June 3rd or 4th, we can pass legislation being created by a team of three clergy persons at our Annual Conference stating that our conference will become a One Church Conference. We are working to develop contingency plans should the Unity Covenant fail.

Letter to North Texas Delegates to General Conference 2019

Members of the Grace community who attended the 2019 Leadership Retreat agreed that Grace should send a letter of encouragement and hope to the North Texas Conference delegates attending the called General Conference of the United Methodist Church, February 23-26, 2019. The letter speaks to Grace’s long-standing position of inclusion of all persons in the life and ministries of our church. Please contact the church at gumc@graceumcdallas.org for questions, comments or concerns.

Join us in prayer for the church and all the people of God. Thank you.
