We continue our special series, Staying.

During a time when some are discussing leaving the United Methodist Church, now is the time to talk about staying.

Think you have to leave the UMC if you hold conservative viewpoints or consider yourself a traditionalist? Think again. We visit with Rev. Weldon Bares, Senior Pastor at First United Methodist Church in Lake Charles. Rev. Bares says there is tremendous value to having a church with diverse theological opinions.
