A Statement from the Dixboro United Methodist Church Leadership Council
We are a small village church where every person is welcomed and embraced as part of the Dixboro Church family. We believe ALL people are created in the image of God and ALL are beloved children of God. Dixboro Church has long sought to intentionally welcome ALL persons to this family of God without boundaries of age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, economic circumstances or beliefs. And we are actively striving to create a comfortable space in our fellowship for all children of God to reach their fullest God-given potential.
We are committed to love and welcome ALL of God’s children. Thus, the Leadership Council of Dixboro UMC is deeply grieved by the February, 2019 vote of the United Methodist General Conference. That vote allowed for 1) retaining the current prohibitive language in our United Methodist Book of Discipline regarding our LGBTQIA brothers and sisters, and 2) strengthening the penalties for non-compliance.
In the spirit of Jesus Christ, Dixboro United Methodist Church will continue to extend God’s love and grace to ALL persons. All are welcome – and all means ALL.
