The following is the text from an email sent by Senior Pastor, Dr. Charles Gattis of Trinity UMC.
We have received some calls of concern that we are endorsing a particular presidential candidate. That is not the case.
You may have heard on the news that Mike Huckabee is speaking at Trinity tomorrow morning. I wanted you to know that this does not indicate that Trinity is supporting him or any other presidential candidate. Mr. Huckabee is coming at the invitation of a Republican Men's group, which has been meeting for a monthly breakfast at Trinity for many years. Many of that group are long time members of our church and they, like other members, use the church facilities for organizations in which they participate.
As a policy, Trinity does not support any political candidates state, federal, or local. If you have any questions, please give me a call and I'll be happy to talk with you about it.
Sincerely,
Charles Gattis
Trinity United Methodist Church
