What is the number of people in the roughly 140 (200) churches who have disaffiliated in the AWFC?
Answer #1 (Stay UMC)
Thus far, approximately 47 churches have disaffiliated from the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference, including 8 in June 2021, 4 in June of 2022, and 38 in November of 2022.
Answer #2 (Pro-Disaffiliation)
As stated earlier, there are now 470 United Methodist churches left in our Alabama West Florida Conference. As of 5/7/2023, 193 of those will disaffiliate. We do not have a total number of people (members) who have left with all of the disaffiliations.
