About Us

Our Mission & Heart

Who We Are

First United Methodist Church has been around since 1872. Back then, there were no lightbulbs, no cars to drive to church, and certainly no social media feeds to scroll. A small group of Christians got together to create something that would last—a church where people could grow in faith and connect with their community. 

Fast forward over 150 years, and here we are. A lot has changed since those early days (thank goodness for indoor plumbing and coffee, right?), but some things haven’t. We’re still here, gathering as a community, loving God, and working to make a difference in the world.

Our Values

We relentlessly follow Jesus by:

1.  Welcoming Everyone.

2.  Fostering authentic connections in a lonely world.

3.  Faithfully responding to needs near and far.

4.  Tirelessly encouraging every person's next step of faith.

5.  Loving across generations.

Our Mission

We lead people to an active faith in Christ.

A Place to Reconnect, Grow, and Belong

We know how challenging it can be to shape a meaningful life in a world that seems to pull your family—and your heart—in a million different directions. That’s why we’re here. Whether you’re raising kids, chasing grandkids, navigating retirement, or figuring out your next step, we’re committed to helping you and your loved ones find a deeper sense of purpose.

This is a place where you can reconnect with what matters most, build a foundation of faith for your family, and be part of something bigger than yourself. 

We believe that together, we can make a lasting impact—not just in our lives, but in the lives of those we love and the world around us. 

No matter where you’re coming from or what’s on your plate, there’s a spot for you at First UMC. Come as you are, bring your questions, your dreams, and your hopes for the future. Let’s figure out this faith journey together. We can’t wait to meet you.
