The purpose of First United Methodist is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We strive to accomplish this by being a worship plus three church. We believe worship is of prime importance and is our foundation. In addition, we are to invite others into a relationship with God, grow in our own relationship with God and our neighbor and serve others as a continued sign of God’s work in our lives.
The mission of the global United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. Our church strives to fulfill this mission by living and sharing the love of Christ with joy.
Our four-fold vision is to be a church that welcomes all people, leads people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, equips believers to become disciples and sends disciples to meet human needs. We are rooted in a core set of beliefs and values that fuels the fire for our mission and vision.
