First United Methodist is a Reconciling Congregation. We proclaim that all people are created in the image of God and affirm that each person, regardless of age, economic status, faith history, ethnicity, gender, mental or physical disability, marital status, sexual orientation or lifestyle, is a beloved child of God and worthy of God’s love and grace.

We support the full participation of all persons in every phase of church life. Through education, advocacy, and our community life, we strive to celebrate the gifts of all people.
