First United Methodist
TOGETHER we make a Difference!
WE BELIEVE in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures. We believe in the Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the forgiveness of sin only by Jesus. We believe in the salvation by grace through faith and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We believe the new life in us is evidenced by living in obedience to the known will of God revealed in the Bible. We believe God gives us strength through the present work of the Holy Spirit in us, enabling us to live a full and satisfying life as a Christian.
WE WORSHIP on Sunday at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. The 10:30 service is a blended service that includes traditional elements and music as well as modern technology and praise songs. The 8:30 service is a traditional service. Holy communion is normally served on the first Sunday of every month. Dress is casual.
OUR MINISTRIES include a Children's and Youth Ministry that communicates God's love, builds positive self-esteem, and gives solid knowledge of the Bible. We seek to provide an atmosphere of loving care that nurtures their spiritual development and challenges them to become the unique individual God created. Our children and youth participate in Vacation Bible School, Choir Camp, and several service project each year. Our aim is to encourage them to commit their lives to Christ and to broaden their faith by serving others.
We have Sunday School classes for all ages and provide nursery care during all worship services and special events.
Our Men's and Women's Groups include ministry circles, Disciple Bible study, Women's Bible study, special events, family outings, prayer groups, senior activities and many other opportunities for fellowship.
We are committed to serving our neighbors in the name of Christ both locally and around the world. Our church offers many opportunities to be involved in service to others and to participate in annual mission trips.
Our church has a dynamic music program that includes an adult Chancel Choir, Handbell Choir, Praise Band, and choirs for children and youth. Each summer we conduct a week-long Choir Camp where children are tutored in vocal music and taught a Christian musical which they perform at the end of the session.
