Worship Services

At the heart of First United Methodist Church is the opportunity for spiritual renewal every Sunday morning.

9.00 a.m. Contemporary Worship Service

The 9:00 Sunday service is a simpler, more casual worship experience designed to appeal to a less structured congregation. The praise team, SonRise, opens each service with inspirational praise music to set the tone for the service. The opening songs are generally upbeat and spiritually lifting. These songs are followed by softer, slower tempos as the service prepares for prayer and worship. Scripture and sermon deliver a spiritual message to the congregation and are followed by a closing "sending out" chorus. The contemporary service replaces much of the traditional liturgy with contemporary Christian music.

11:00 a.m. Traditional Worship Service

Gathering to worship God through a more traditional structure, the service includes congregational singing of hymns, special music by the Chancel Choir and accomplished soloists. Through prayers, scripture, sermons, and sacraments, the congregation seeks to offer praise to God and our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, with a common bond of love and purpose. We invite you to join us as we enter the presence of God.

Children meet during adult worship times at 9:00 and 11:00 in rooms 201 and 202 off the upstairs hall. Children will be dismissed from adult worship after about 15 minutes and met in the narthex by their teachers.
