A Community Church in a Global Context
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here. Whether you’re looking for a new church home, curious about faith, or just passing by, we want you to feel welcome at First Community UMC. We are a diverse and dynamic congregation that loves God and loves our neighbors. We don’t have all the answers, but we’re not afraid to ask questions and learn from each other.
We have a lot of fun at First Community. We enjoy singing, praying, laughing, and making new friends. We also have a passion for justice and peace, and we partner with local and global organizations to make a difference in the world. We believe that God’s love is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. That’s why we celebrate diversity and inclusion in our church and our community.
In the last year we have become increasingly excited about our effort to “embrace and include the world.” We began by embracing a group of seminarians from Latin America, Africa and elsewhere around the world. These seminarians have become an essential part of our church life and, with the perspective of our pastor (Dr. Cristian De La Rosa), we are excited about where this is taking us.
We invite you to come on Sunday for worship (10:30 AM) and/or to join with us in service to the community and the wider world. You would be very welcome.
