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.

What if measured church by what it grows, not just how much it grows?
This past Sunday, we're kicked off a new sermon series - Harvest: What We Measure. Together, we'll explore the fruits of the Spirit and what they teach us about a life of faith. So, if it's not attendance and checking off all the right boxes... what does a fruitful church really look like? Let's find out together!
Join us this Sunday for worship at 10am

The Florida Man Ministries Summit is coming to St. Luke’s UMC in Orlando October 16–17.

This year’s Summit has expanded to two days, and men can attend Friday, Saturday, or both. Men from anywhere are welcome, and they do not need to be United Methodist or affiliated with a church.

Wholeness and Holiness: A Masculine Journey to Christlikeness will explore faithful manhood through the four masculine archetypes of King, Warrior, Sage and Lover, considering how Jesus models leadership through service, strength through courage, wisdom through truth, and love through compassion.

The Summit will include worship, prayer, practical skill-building, ministry tools, workshops, fellowship and a Co****le Tournament, with opportunities to reflect on life, relationships, calling and our walk with God.
