Who is First United Methodist Church?

        First United Methodist Church is a church who, we pray, constantly reaches out to fulfill the great commission, "to make disciples of all nations", and constantly reaches in to fulfill the great commandment, "to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbors as ourselves". You will find at First Church many missions projects, programs, and events. Although, we have a very strong and committed older membership, you will also find every other age group involved in ministry. Our youth program and young adult ministries are still very young, but they are supported well by the whole church and are growing. We have both Traditional and Praise & Worship services and are continually looking at widening the styles of worship we offer. All this being said, one thing that does not change here is our commitment to the inerrant word of scripture, "a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path". As it contains all that is necessary for life and salvation, we take very seriously the Word, and even while we seek out the correct context of every passage, Josh McDowell's words are quite welcome here... "If the literal makes good sense, seek no other sense lest you come up with nonsense".

        And why do we study the scriptures? Not as an end in itself but to equip us as God's priesthood of believers to better share the good news with our neighbors. Disciple Bible Study, Alpha, Thursday evening Prayer Meeting, Witness Ministries, Youth Fellowship, Women's Bible Study, and other small group ministries help us in these efforts to connect that new life in the Word with our daily lives that we may be a congregation pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many leaders who take their tasks here at First Church seriously. It is my sincere hope that theirs and all of our most earnest efforts will always be in nurturing that genuine relationship with Jesus that will help us do all things for His kingdom of which we are part.
