Welcome To First Family
We want to help you discover and develop a relationship with God. As a congregation rich with heritage but with a face toward the future, we offer Jesus Christ to all, Christian education for all ages, and an invitation to be part of a spiritual family. I hope you will visit one of our services and let us know how we may be of service to you. See you Sunday!

For United Methodists, the deaths of mission volunteer Jean Arnwine, UMCOR head Sam Dixon and UMCOR consultant Clint Rabb hit close to home. All three were in Haiti on behalf of the UMC, doing work to help Haitians who were already in need before the earthquake.
