First UMC has more than 150 years of history, worship and outreach.

Our Mission:
Living Christ’s presence through love and service.

Our Vision:
We are a community of believers nurturing one another in the life and example of Christ, through worship, witness, stewardship, service and fellowship. Our faith is sustained by study, prayer and reflection.

First UMC offers a variety of worship opportunities on Sundays.

Traditional Service
The sanctuary service is a traditional service of worship, incorporating hymn singing, prayer, scripture and a sermon, as well as music provided by our youth and children’s choirs. Dynamic preaching of our pastors, stirring music by the chancel choir, and frequent special instrumental music make this hour the central part of our worship as a congregation.
