Rev. Victor Melad, Jr., Lake North Dist. Supt.
Greetings to you on behalf of the local churches, campus ministries, one seminary, and several United Methodist-affiliated healthcare and social service agencies that make up the Lake North District. We are one of the most diverse districts in The United Methodist Church and we are stronger for it! We are Filipino, Hispanic, Korean, African American, Vitnamese, Liberian, Caribbean, Indian, Ghanan, Pakistani. We are gay and straight, trans and cis. We have churches that are over 100 years old and churches that just began. Urban and suburban, large and small, in all of this diversity, our unity is found not in conformity but in Christ Jesus.
Our churches are made up of ordinary people, just like you, who are committed to the messy journey of faith. They desire to live a life of service and justice as part of a deepening relationship with God. If you are searching for a place to ask questions, to build community, to grow in your faith, and to worship God, I invite you to one of the United Methodist congregations near you.
