First United Methodist Church

First United Methodist Church We think loving God and changing the world should start right here in Sanford, which is why we’re always trying to find new ways to Love Thy Neighborhood.

We are a community of people who have committed to follow Jesus toward a life of being loved by God, loving others, caring for each other, investing in our local community and building surprising friendships*. Join us for worship on Sundays at 10am or 5:30pm, or for other events, classes, small groups or meals shared here.

*We borrowed the phrase "surprising friendships" from a place in Durham,

NC called the School for Conversion. They've been committed to building surprising friendships for over a decade now and we are privileged to see the power of those friendships on individuals and the wider community.

Apparently folks are trying to contact our community again: please know Pastor Meghan & Pastor David would never email about ‘a private matter’ or ask you to buy gift cards. Please forward any email requests to us if you’re unsure of whether it’s real or not. We’re so sorry these scammers are trying so hard to trick our community.

Lunch Bunch meets two Wednesdays a month, to gather folks together, and to seek to serve our caregivers and homebound members. On the first Wednesday gathering of the month, the group brings lunch to campus and eats together for fellowship and fun. The other gathering is a chance to bring lunch to a caregiver or homebound member who might be permanently or temporarily unable to get out. The lunch bunch brings their own bag lunch and takes the fellowship on the road! Anyone is welcome to join the group, even if you're not presently a caregiver or connected to a homebound member. It's a great chance to eat lunch together and to connect with other people in the congregation!

If you're interested message or email us!

Who, What, When, Where... Why Church?

This week, Pastor Meghan reminded us that the church is more than a place we gather. It is God’s people sent into the world to make right what is broken, to carry hope into despair, and to join in God’s work of bringing life where death tries to take hold.
We are called to be people who loosen chains, share bread, rebuild communities, and flood the world with the hope of God’s kingdom.
