Our Mission

At First United Methodist Church our mission is to be an irresistible catalyst of change for the love of Jesus Christ. We strive to build relationships beyond the walls of our church, and to create life changing worship and learning opportunities for people of all ages. 

Our Flavor

You can be confident you’ll walk away from any sermon armed with the lessons and scriptures from the Bible to help you through each day. At First United Methodist Church we are also striving to Love Better in the world as well as our local community. Everyone is Welcome in the doors of First United Methodist Jefferson City.

Our Beliefs

As United Methodists, we believe in the historic teachings of the Christian Church. Like every generation of followers of Christ, we also believe God is calling us to discover ways of making these ancient teachings intelligible and accessible to our contemporary context.

We practice baptism of both infants and adults and accept baptisms if you are converting from another religion. If you have been baptized in the Christian Faith previously, we do not believe a second baptism is necessary.

We welcome all people to the Communion Table.

The best way to find out what we believe is simply to come join us as we try to live life together as followers of Christ. Please come and be a part of the faith journey.
