They may be getting rich from the gheys but not from the buyouts. The churches that I know of that have left got out for pennies on the dollar compare to what the property was worth
It is my understanding they get to keep the property but must contribute to a Methodist fund for two years with their exit.

No the congregation purchases the property outright and has to contribute 2 years worth of total pastoral compensation. It’s technically payback for two years worth of the pastor’s retirement.

Just read article that the provision allowing exit with this method has now been rescinded effective 5/4/24. I guess tolerance and acceptance is a one way street. I don’t want to sound bitter as I’m sad over the decision at conference. But this is BS as generous terms had been offered to those of the progressive wing. The UMC is going to be a zombie church that unfortunately will continue to exist a long time off their massive assets and real estate. But with a fraction of members. Look for some asset sales with money heading to progressive political causes near you soon. Peace out UMC!
