First United Methodist Church Our Mission: To see all generations experience true life change with Jesus. Join us on this world-changing journey!

Our community of faith at First United Methodist Church yearns to be a place where people are encouraged to hear God's voice, love one another, show compassion to others, and follow Jesus more closely than ever before. We desire to pour forth God's love in every direction, so our local and global community can be transformed. Specifically, we want to help the lost ones be found, the children be loved, the broken be healed, the races be reconciled, and the poor be lifted up.

We all want to get to a place where the problems finally melt away. But that’s not usually how life works.

Instead of asking God to remove every difficulty, what if we asked how we can remain faithful to Jesus through it?

Our future hope in Christ produces present faithfulness.

We would all like to reach a place where the problems finally melt away. But that isn’t usually how life works. Our goal isn’t to escape every difficulty. Our goal is to remain faithful to Jesus through every challenge we face.

What do you hold onto when life doesn’t go the way you hoped?

Faith isn’t about pretending the struggle isn’t real. It’s about grounding ourselves in God’s Word and asking a different question: How can I remain faithful through every difficulty?

Happy Labor Day! Today, we give thanks for the people whose hard work helps support families, strengthen communities, and serve others every day.

Scripture reminds us that our work has value and purpose. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Colossians 3:23

Whether you’re working long hours, caring for others, building, teaching, serving, creating, or leading, your work matters.

We hope today gives you a chance to rest, recharge, and spend time with the people you love.

Ladies, join us for the 15:10 Women’s Ministry Cookout on Tuesday, September 15, from 6:30–8:00 PM at the church pavilion.

We’ll provide the hot dogs and buns. Just bring a favorite side dish or dessert to share, and come ready for a relaxed evening of good food, conversation, and time together.

New to 15:10? Been part of the group for years? Either way, we’d love to have you there. Bring a friend and a lawn chair if you’d like!

The cookout is FREE, but registration is appreciated to help us plan for food.

God doesn’t begin his work in us and then leave us unfinished.

Join us this Sunday as we wrap up Grace Upon Grace and talk about glorification, God’s grace bringing his work in us to completion. We’ll look at what it means to live by faith, not by sight, with our eyes fixed on what is eternal.

We live by faith, not by sight. That means trusting God’s promises even when what we see in front of us tells a different story.

Faith keeps our eyes fixed beyond what is temporary and toward what is eternal.

Holiness can sound like something distant or impossible. But Jesus brings it near. To grow in holiness is to receive the love of Christ and allow that love to flow through us to God and to the people around us.
