Perry United Methodist Church is a member of the South Georgia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. Like many United Methodist churches, PUMC is navigating what is the future into which God is calling us. The UMC has been divided and has reached an impasse, primarily around issues of human sexuality. You may be wondering where PUMC is when it comes to these denominational matters. We have formed a Discovery Team which is prayerfully studying and discerning what will be the best options for us, and they will be reporting back to Administrative Board. We are also in the process of creating committees to help research potential denominations should PUMC decide to depart in the future. We have created this section of our website in order to share helpful information, past updates, town hall videos, and helpful outside resources. If you have further questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to our pastors, our lay leaders, or staff by emailing perryumcga@gmail.com.
