This is the former First United Methodist Church of Childress. The name change is indicative of a decision to leave the United Methodist Church, because in Childress they hold to "traditional" bigoted views about sexuality and gender. The people are generally good people. They truly love Christ and I am sure they have the best intentions. That said, I could not suggest this church to a friend as they are choosing to other my LGBTQ friends and family by policy.
