You're welcome here

Edmond First United Methodist Church is located just west of the University of Central Oklahoma and we've been a worshipping community since 1889.  We are proud to serve downtown Edmond and treasure our relationship with UCO.  In fact, their first classes met in our previous facility way back in 1890!


We worship in the liturgical tradition, drawing from a deep well of Christian tradition - both modern and ancient.  Our historic 1928 sanctuary and newer Wesley Hall both have a warm and intimate feeling.  This is further supported by our congregation who will be delighted to have you visit us for worship.


Our congregation believes that our prime purpose is to connect people with God and neighbor.  We do this through a great variety of mission and service opportunities to the local community and beyond.

Worship on Hurd

Worship

Every Sunday at 10:50 a group of diverse individuals gather as a community to worship and grow in Christ.  At Worship on Hurd, we strive to welcome everyone, whether you think you are a sinner or a saint.  By incorporating contemporary music within a liturgically rich worship, we try to embody authenticity and vulnerability as we grow in grace to be the children of god we are created to be.

Sermons are usually given by our Senior Pastor, Rev. Dr. Sam Powers or our Associate Pastor, Trey Witzel and mirror those that are preached in the sanctuary services.  Holy Communion is celebrated in Wesley Hall on the second and the last Sunday of the month.

Hospital Care Team

Caring

Our hospital care team volunteers care for those in the hospital through regular visits, phone calls and prayers.

Worship Service

Worship

Two identical worship services are offered at 8:30 & 11:00a.m. in the Sanctuary.  Our Senior Pastor, Rev. Samuel Powers is the primary preacher and Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month.

We are proud to worship in the liturgical tradition. Liturgy literally means “work of the people” and it includes shared written prayers, responsive readings and affirmations of faith that come from the variety of Christian tradition as well as those newly written for our context today.

The pipe organ and piano serve as the primary instruments for accompanying our singing.  We are blessed with a large adult choir that sings virtually every Sunday throughout the year while our adult handbell choir and two children's choirs also take leadership roles throughout the year.

Whether it's through the majestic sound of a full congregation singing one of the great hymns of the faith with a pipe organ or through the intimacy of a quiet prayer, we pray that these services will uplift and strengthen your spirit.

Chorister Choir

The chorister choir exists to provide children with opportunities to become deeply devoted followers of Christ by instilling a love for and understanding of worship.

In this ensemble - geared toward children in 1st - 5th grades - the children learn the fundamentals of music reading and gain insight into basic patterns of worship.
