Calvary Memorial Methodist Church in High Point has about 2,500 members, and this past Sunday they voted to disaffiliate with the North Carolina Western Conference of UMC. That move can't be completed until at least November.
Separation agreements signed by 192 churches – 69 in the Piedmont Triad – list the amounts they must pay to leave UMC because they disagree with the denomination's position on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ ministers. Some will pay more than $200,000.
