In a statement posted on the front page of their website, officials at the Green Street United Methodist Church said that they ask other churches to join in the movement to refuse to sign any State marriage licenses until this right is granted to same- sex couples.
In the full version of their statement - publicly posted on their website the church asks that services such as premarital counseling be offered to couples of all orientations, in addition to other couple-specific services.

It looks like the homos have started their own “churches”.
yea, shocked. Not.
Can you say “Unitarian?” Sure.
The experience in worship is a blend of traditional Methodist liturgy, free-church African American influence, Hispanic culture, social gospel, all stuck together with a jazz-fused gravy.
I'm not sure what this is supposed to be, but certainly has nothing to do with worshiping God.
Perhaps they should have hetrosexual unions
>>I belong to a Bible believing / bible teaching UMC congregation.
Me too. These urban leftist congregations are the exception. The UMC beat the gay agenda last summer so we have 3 1/2 more years before we have to it again. If they win, the denomination will split.
Fine with me, straight couples should happily give their money to another church. Their loss.
Their minds are so open their brains have fallen out.
From their website:
They are the only one in the conference and it has chosen to be the gay-magnet for Winston-Salem. Eventually, their pastor will get brave and come out and then the bishop can remove him.
Or the pelosi/kennedy/biden christianity.
I think it’s interesting, let ‘em have their own club and watch it wither and die.
Exactly. I’m guessing the congregation for this “church” probably doesn’t have that many natural marriage weddings anyway.
Because I know several elderly women who could “marry” me, and we both could benefit from my being her legally dependendent spouse!
How are you going to prove every same sex marriage is a “homo-sexual orientation” situation?
What, are we going to have to swear we are sexually deviant to attain our rights to marry?
I have 7 children, she has none, we all get covered under her Medicare and the SSAN dependent care coverage kicks in at about $800.00 a month each when she dies...
Just think of all the new wealth building possibilities!
No, I am not being sarcastic. I am telling you what will happen.
John Wesley would have run these creeps out of town by now and they’d no longer be members of the Methodist Church if he were alive today.
God will not be mocked.
Mankind will, but not God.
I am UMC and will stand and continue to fight, its my Church home and these fools are the outsiders, trying to rob and destroy a great tradition, as they are in other faiths...
It's a club. From their website:
Today, Green Street Church is alive and thriving, with 300+ members and approximately 160 people in worship each Sunday! The congregation reflects the make-up of the West Salem community white, African-American, and Hispanic; the affluent, the middle class, and the poorand also includes many from other neighborhoods who seek a diverse congregation.
160 people in church on Sunday? Where I come from that's either a new church or a dying church.
“No, I am not being sarcastic. I am telling you what will happen.”
Indeed. And our society will deserve the bankruptcy that results from scenarios like the one you described.
lol.
Gotta find out what the FDA thinks of harvesting my fat white...er... plump sweet posterior as a marshamallow substitute!!
