"The Commission on the Way Forward" Information Links

From February 23-26, a special session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church will convene in St. Louis to vote on matters regarding human sexuality.  Please take the time to review this information as we prayerfully prepare for the what the future holds for the United Methodist Church.

From January 12-17, 2019 Grace Avenue held a series of Listening Sessions to allow our church family the opportunity to not only be informed, but to share their hopes, concerns and, more importantly, share their stories.  Thank you to everyone who participated in these Holy Conversations.   If you did not make it to a session, we invite you to review the information on this page and feel free to contact us with questions.   There are several contact names/emails at the bottom of this page.
