I’m New!

We are so glad you’re interested in First UMC!

Here are some steps you can take to prepare for your visit!

 

step 1: pick your service

We want you to have a meaningful worship experience and grow closer to God.

We have three distinct worship services to choose from!

 

traditional service

8:30am in the Sanctuary Building

Our traditional service includes well-known hymns, communal liturgies, and choral music offered by our Chancel Choir.

 

Closer walk

10:00am in the family life center

Our Closer Walk is a modern worship service featuring a live band with contemporary worship music you might hear on Christian radio.

 

blended service

11:10am in the Sanctuary Building

Our blended worship service combines traditional music with some contemporary favorites along with a more casual atmosphere where worshippers have the opportunity to share joys and concerns.

step 2: Choose Where to Park

We have a parking space waiting for you.

We’re located at 400 W. 7th Avenue, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Duck Street. On Sunday, you can access our campus connected parking lots from either 7th or 8th Street. If you choose to park east of the church, a crosswalk attendant will assist you as you cross Duck Street.  

 

Step 3: Make a Plan for Your Children

We want your children to learn about the love of God in a safe, welcoming environment!

During the Traditional Services at 8:30 and 11:10 am, children are invited to the front for “Children’s Conversation.” This is a time when our pastors illustrate a point using age-appropriate content. After Children’s Conversation is over, our Children’s Ministry staff will bring the kids to Room 317 for a bigger lesson and activity designed for their age.

We offer Sunday School for kids of all ages, including high school students, beginning at 10:00am and again at 11:10am. 

 

Step 4: Worship with us! We’ll Meet you there!

We are so excited for you to visit First UMC!
