First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica welcomes you to the life of our congregation. You’ll find singles, seniors, families with young children, youth, newly-weds….a full range of programs and opportunities for worship, study, service and fellowship.

We offer two worship services on Sunday mornings. The 9:00 am service many of the same elements as our 10:30 service but is designed to appeal to families and includes a Children's Message. Various choirs, soloists and groups provide the music. This service should be of interest to those wishing to worship in a more casual laid back setting.

 

The 10:30 am service is what we refer to as a more traditional service. A traditional United Methodist worship service includes "call and response" readings, hymns from our United Methodist Hymnal, prayers read out loud by the entire congregation, a sermon from one of our ministers, organ music and anthems sung by our Chancel Choir. The service is more formal in nature.

Coffee Hour - a time of fellowship and refreshments - is offered after each service in the social hall and is a great time to meet people.

All of our children and youth choirs, and the Amadeus Handbell choir, participate in the Sunday services approximately every 6 weeks. The Chancel Choir sings at the 10:30 a.m. service on a regular basis, and occasionally at the 9:00 a.m. service. The Chancel Choir also presents major concerts in December and June.

Free Concerts in the sanctuary on Wednesdays followed with a reception in the Fireside Room. All are welcome!

A complete brochure of all the music events happening at FUMC for the season, along with ticket purchases are available on our web site.

Audio of our sermons is available on the Worship section of our web site.
