Mainstream UMC
Rev. Dr. Mark Holland is a third generation United Methodist Pastor. Mark has served in the Kansas East/Great Plains Conferences since 1994. At the 2016 United Methodist General Conference, in the midst of another bitter division around human sexuality, Mark made the motion on the floor asking the Council of Bishops to come back with a plan to build consensus in the church. That plan has become The One Church Model.
Join us as we welcome Rev. Dr. Mark Holland to speak to interested congregation members about The Way Forward Commission and Mainstream UMC on August 15 at 6:30 pm. Click HERE for more information.
