An extended legal battle between a Highland Park congregation and their former denomination has now resulted in a lawsuit being filed over the name of the church.

What we know: The Highland Park Methodist Church has asked for a temporary restraining order to restrict the United Methodist Church from using its former name.

HPMC voted to leave the United Methodist Church denomination last month, and has been holding services at its same church building on Hillcrest Road and Mockingbird Lane under its new name.
