From Keith Boyette, Global Methodist Church, Transitional Connectional Officer:
To the Pastor and Laity of Armagh United Methodist:
Welcome to the Global Methodist Church! We received your request to join the Global Methodist Church as a member congregation accompanied by the required minutes of your congregational meeting endorsing the doctrinal standards and social witness in our Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline and expressing your desire to be connected and accountable to the Global Methodist Church.
On Monday, May 8, 2023, the Transitional Leadership Council approved your request, and your church is now a member congregation of the Global Methodist Church effective Tuesday, August 1, 2023. Praise God!
Those individuals who are professing members of your congregation are now members of the Global Methodist Church.
In the coming days, we will send you a charter designating you as a member congregation of the Global Methodist Church which you may display should you choose to do so.
When you share this news with your congregation, I encourage you to use the Wesley Covenant Service as a means of both celebrating your new relationship as a member congregation of the GM Church and renewing your covenant with God.
We will be sending additional information to you in the coming days to address other aspects of your being a member congregation of the Global Methodist Church. I am praying for you as you make disciples of Jesus Christ who worship passionately, love extravagantly, and witness boldly. Please be in touch with me if you have questions.
