ABOUT US

VISION STATEMENT

First United Methodist Church celebrates God's transforming love as seen in Jesus Christ as we worship, learn, build spirit-filled community and reach out to our world. We seek to be a people of hope, promise, healing, justice and joy.  We seek to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those who do not belong to a faith community.  We celebrate diversity, and welcome persons from all walks of life.  We also strive to nurture, name, and call out the giftedness of each person for the work of redemptive love in all God's creation.
