Frederick churchgoers totaling about 3500 would join the United Methodist Church if the Chicago merger is approved at June regional conferences. Delegates from the Methodist Church and Evangelical United Brethren Church voted overwhelmingly in favor of the five year merge plan. Four Frederick churches would transfer to the new denomination: Asbury, Calvary, Trinity, and Centennial Memorial. The final ratification will come in June when church delegates vote by a three fourths majority. The merger aims to boost joint community projects and symbolise Christian unity.
