Christ Church United Methodist

Christ Church United Methodist has a long history of social justice work, and a long history of resistance to unjust rules and situations. Christ Church is a Reconciling Congregation, and we affirm our call to be in community and ministry with all people of all races, sexualities, gender identities, physical conditions, and ages. We all are on a spiritual journey and we want all people to know they are welcome here.

We, the community of Christ Church United Methodist know that grace cannot be constrained by the flawed legislation of the special General Conference 2019. We have not and will not
abide by the restrictions the Book of Discipline has placed on the inclusion of LBGTQIA+ people in the full life of the United Methodist Church, in our community of faith, or in our lives. We will continue to affirm and offer the Church’s blessing to any prepared couple desiring Christian marriage. We join with people of faith everywhere in calling for full equality and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the life of the Church.

Rev. Emily Flemming started her ministry at Christ Church this July and we are so glad to welcome her! Rev. Emily is a pastor, coach, and author raised near the Appalachain Mountains of South Carolina. She worked in corporate litigation, human resourcs/recruiting, and executive search for 10 years, leaving the corporate world of Munich in 2011. She moved to the Colorado Rockies and attended Iliff School of Theology and was ordained as an Elder in Full Connection by the Rocky Mountain Conference (now the Mountain Sky Conference) in 2016. Most recently she pastored in Lyons, Erie, and Windsor. We are honored to have her at Christ Church and she says she's "excited to see what's up Godsleeve for this new adventure."
