On March 25, the First United Methodist Church of Louisville, Mississippi voted 175-6 to leave the “United Methodist” organization. Going forward, they hope to be known simply as the First Methodist Church of Louisville.
Rev. Mike Childs told The Daily Wire that the departure has “really been a long time coming.” Specifically, Childs feels the United Methodist Church (UMC) has failed to correct major failings in the organization, such as the election of a lesbian bishop — something both anti-scriptural and against the rules of the United Methodist Book of Discipline.
