Answer #1 (Stay UMC)
If AUMC disaffiliates, it is assumed that the succeeding church would assume all property and financial assets including the designated funds and endowments as well as all financial obligations, including the $2.4 million loan outstanding.
Answer #2 (Pro-Disaffiliation)
All obligations of the Church remain. An up-to-date discussion of our financial situation would need to be brought to the whole Church to discuss our prospects and a plan for getting a handle on our income and expenses would be warranted. From there, a plan could be formed.
