First United Methodist Church - Lancaster Pa

     Early in his revival ministry, John Wesley established and sustained communities of Christians that were strong enough to grow through the centuries and develop into The United Methodist Church. He understood salvation as a process that requires community ongoing support and nurture and accountability in Christian living. These thoughts are basic to membership in the body of Christ and the fellowship at First Church. And so when you become a member of First Church the congregation responds with “We rejoice to recognize you as a member of Christ‘s holy Church and bid you welcome to this congregation of The United Methodist Church. With you we renew our vows to uphold it by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.”  

If you hear God calling you to membership at First Church, you are invited to participate in the New Member Classes on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 a.m. beginning on April 25. You will be received into membership at one of the worship services on June 13.

Please contact Pastor Kent, Pastor Kerry or Katherine Spear (898-2053) for more information. Thank you!
