An Atlanta Church Raises $13.1 Million to Pay a Separation Settlement to the North Georgia Methodist Conference
A metro Atlanta church has raised the money it needs to become independent from the United Methodist Church.
Channel 2 Action News reported on the Mt. Bethel and the North Georgia Methodist Conference multi-million settlement last month. The Cobb County church confirmed it paid the $13.1 million this week.
Half of the money came from donations raised in just two months. The church said it used a loan for the other half and plan to pay it off within two years.
