Currently, the Book of Discipline does not allow clergy to officiate same-sex weddings. Our current United Methodist pastors have made a commitment to follow the Book of Discipline. If the Book of Discipline changes, the pastors who are currently serving here will honor the position of Ebenezer.
No pastor is ever forced to marry anyone, nor will they be in the future. Pastors currently make their own decision about their willingness to marry a couple. They have autonomy in that licensure; they can – and do – decline to marry people for a variety of reasons and will retain this discretion now and in the future.
