PRESS RELEASE: July 22, 2022

Vero Beach FL: The Wesleyan Covenant Association – Florida Regional Chapter (“WCA-Florida”) confirmed it has been twelve (12) weeks since the WCA FL team partnered with the National Center for Life and Liberty and requested formal negotiations with Bishop Carter. They respectfully requested that he negotiate an agreement for churches that wish to leave the denomination amicably, utilizing par 2548.2 of our Book of Discipline. “We are saddened that as of this writing we have not heard from our Florida conference leadership. We are, however, excited to report that more and more Florida churches are signing up for this process in an effort to contend for the faith entrusted to us,” said Jeremy Rebman, President of the WCA-Florida.

Rebman went on to say: “We know that many traditional UMC pastors, laity and churches feel trapped and alone right now. We have clearly been rejected by our conference.  We are seen as an impediment to their new liberal agenda. There is an unwillingness on the part of UM leaders to work with churches that cannot afford to depart under 2553, and yet, desire to be released. Therefore, we are launching a new website that will enable us to come together and speak with one voice."

Rebman’s team has designed a new website, LetUSGo.world, to allow folks who believe the whole Bible is the inspired Word of God and believe that we should follow the current UMC Book of Discipline, to sign their names and stand together.

LetUsGo.world is offered to everyone who wants to sign their name in support of churches being able to depart the UMC in a way that is possible and fair for all churches who wish to leave.  

LetUsGo is designed to let the United Methodist leadership know all signers are eager to end the fighting and partner with Methodist organizations where we share like-minded goals and missions.

Rebman concluded by saying that: “We promise to report the number of signatures to you from time to time and celebrate milestones. Remember, you are not alone as you contend for our faith. We only want our United Methodist Leadership to agree to Let us go!”
