NOTIFCATION OF UPCOMING CALLED CHARGE CONFERNCE
NOTIFCATION OF UPCOMING CALLED CHARGE CONFERNCE
October 14th at 7pm via zoom. The fellowship hall will be made available. Abbey Klooster will be the recording secretary.
Purpose of Charge Conference:
To receive the approval of our congregation to allow the Board of Trustees to refinance the current mortgage and loan. Rectortown UMC is considered a business and our mortgage term is 5 years, and current loan ends on 28 September 2025. The Trustees have made arrangements with Oak View National Bank to continue the current loan for several months until the new loan can be completed.
As noted in para (2) below, our District Superintendent (DS) Kyungsuk Cho, outlines the steps needed in accordance with the UMC Book of Discipline Para 2540.3. The Trustees have completed all of the actions needed to have in place, and are ready for our Lawyer, Mildred Slater to "petition the Circuit Court for an order authorizing, under VA Code Section 57-15, the church's real estate by filing the deed of trust/mortgage.
(2) Based on the Book of Disciple (the denomination's constitution book) paragraph 2540.3, mortgaging a church’s property, as in a sale of a church’s property, requires approval at a charge conference. The deed of trust/mortgage should also contain the signature of the pastor and the District Superintendent, which is myself. I believe this matter is time-sensitive-I can arrange a charge conference virtually if that is helpful.
Calling a Charge Conference requires 10 days advance notice to our congregation, via three different media. Tenative date of the called charge conference will be between 4 and 8 October 2025 (attendance can be in person/Zoom). Notice this day, 28 September 2025 is the beginning of the 10 day notice. The types of notice will be;
- Flier attached to 28 September and 4 October 2025 bulletin
- Announcement live in church at 10:00 Worship Service on 28 September and 4 October 2025
- Announce via live stream broad cast via UTUBE during 28 September and 4 October 2025
- Congregational "group email", and,
- published on Rectortown UMC WEB Home Page beginning 29 September 2025
