We are a congregation in the downtown area of Midland with a West Texas welcome to everyone. Here we explore our Christian faith and develop our talents to serve our community and world.
Here at First United Methodist you will find beautiful settings, an inclusive and well-prepared worship experience with more than one style of worship, and places for your children and youth.
Our Traditional Sunday Services are held in the Sanctuary. These services feature traditional worship with a choir and one of the finest pipe organs in West Texas. You'll enjoy the blend of music in our traditional services which may include African-American spirituals one week, contemporary music another, and Bach or Handel the next.
Our Contemporary Services are held in our Fellowship Hall. This service features high-energy contemporary music with a twist. A vocal and instrumental band leads the people in singing and includes the words on a visually enhanced screen. The message includes drama and video clips that illustrate the theme of the day.

W.O.W – Women of Worship
This is a new worship experience the first Friday of each month. Designed for the needs and tastes of women, the worship style blends new with old, and the feeling is casual and dynamic.
Imagine Worship
This service is open to the community and designed for those who want a mid-week spiritual lift with a variety of music styles and leaders. Imagine! is offered weekly during Wednesday @ First, an ongoing program with a meal in the Fellowship Hall followed by learning opportunities for children, youth and adults.
Our Chancel Choir sings at our 8:30 and 10:45 AM Traditional Services.
Our Adult Handbell Ensemble plays during worship and for special events throughout the year.
