Redding First United Methodist Church

Redding First United Methodist Church First Church is a progressive, local congregation of the United Methodist Church in Downtown Redding

Here at First Church, we believe the reach of God’s love is wider than our imaginations can fathom and without bounds...

That truly, “nothing can separate us from the love of God” (paraphrased Romans 8:38-39). Therefore we strive, as much as possible given our own imperfections, to put LOVE first. We love you regardless of your family structure, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, eco

nomic status, race, age, education, health, abilities, political views or spirituality. We welcome you to come worship and explore this great love of God together with us, and to work beside us to grow into disciples of Christ, for the transformation of the world.

Thanks to all our volunteers from ARTF for representing justice, equality and peace for all so well!

*Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free, marking a pivotal milestone in the ongoing journey toward freedom, equality, and justice in the United States.
