Welcome to the forums! I myself have a partial background in the UMC, although I am no longer affiliated with that church due to the theological direction it has been moved into in recent decades.

There are some really interesting independent Methodist churches, my favorite being the Epworth Chapel on the Green in Boise, Idaho, which has a liturgical worship program closely resembling that of John Wesley.

Certainly the UMC Church has now officially turned its back on John Wesley
That is why I left the church. They did not even believe Wesley taught what he did.

For example: Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

Did you transfer to the Global Methodist Church?

Certainly the UMC Church has now officially turned its back on John Wesley and the Bible. Seems zero interest on Wesley's witness about war. https://www.amazon.com/Christian-Pacifism-Fruit-Narrow-ebook/dp/B005RIKH62/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_t_1

Hey Michael, how are you doing? Were you able to find another Methodist parish?

One that I particularly like that is not part of the Global Methodist Church but predates it, which is somewhat independent, is the Epworth Chapel on the Green in Boise, Idaho, which recently affiliated but did not formally join the Free Methodist Church.
