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.

Who is the person you would rather see punished than forgiven?
Now look at the cross and remember how much Jesus has forgiven you. The question isn't whether someone else deserves mercy. The question is whether we have forgotten how much mercy we have received.
Who is the person you would rather see punished than forgiven?
That question changes when we look at the cross and remember how much mercy we have received. Jesus calls us to extend that mercy to others and become people who seek peace with truth, humility, and love.

We are quick to remember what someone else has done to us. It can be harder to recognize the ways we have hurt others too.
Jesus invites us to examine our own hearts, receive the mercy we need, and then extend that mercy to others.

God isn’t waiting on the other side of your struggle.
Jesus meets us in grief, weakness, hunger, uncertainty, and need. Wherever we find ourselves, he has already been there, and he is still there.

When we see someone in need, Jesus calls us to see more than their need.
They are beloved. They bear the image of God. They are people Jesus calls blessed. That changes the way we love, serve, and live alongside one another.

Blessed are the needy. It sounds counterintuitive, but it is at the heart of Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes.

What if recognizing our need is not the opposite of being blessed?
This Sunday, we look at the opening words of the Sermon on the Mount and the surprising people Jesus calls blessed. Come discover what the Beatitudes reveal about God’s kingdom and our place in it.
