If you wish to remain in The United Methodist Church but your church is listed below, please know we have a place for you!
North Star Congregations are local United Methodist Churches in the West Ohio Conference that are prepared to welcome anyone whose church has closed or disaffiliated. North Star Congregations are places where you will find spaces and persons of peace who will care for you during a difficult season along your spiritual journey. If you find yourself disconnected from the church, please be assured that there is still a place for you in The United Methodist Church. A North Star Congregation may be just what you need to help you through this unexpected season and help you stay United Methodist.
