Lighthouse Congregations are local churches in the Oklahoma Annual Conference that are willing to offer ministry to anyone whose church has closed or disaffiliated and who wish to remain a United Methodist. The role of the congregation is to be a safe place where persons can find a life with God and a community of faith where they can also support the church with their prayers, presence, gifts, and service. It may also be a place where these persons are encouraged to take opportunities offered by the Annual Conference/local church to grieve the loss of their previous family of faith and the life that they had in that church. Offering these persons, the opportunity to grieve in a safe place is important for the well-being of their lives. Click HERE for more information on Lighthouse Congregations.
