A Lighthouse Congregation is a United Methodist congregation devoted to Christian hospitality, and the welcome and care of people who've been displaced from their church home by disruption, disaffiliation, or closure. An LHC commits their focus to making disciples, welcoming new people well, and caring for those who've been hurt. This form is to indicate your interest in learning more about the Lighthouse Congregation Movement in the North Georgia Conference. Please contact blair.zant@ngumc.net with questions.

Are you currently displaced? You or someone you know looking for a place of care and connection? Consider visiting the Harbor UMC, a connectional, online church community built specifically to help people find shelter from life's storms.
