FROM PASTOR AMY
Thank you for taking a moment to stop by the website of First United Methodist Church of Saginaw. We hope that this site provides a glimpse into the dynamic and vibrant ministry that we share through the power of Christ’s Spirit working through this congregation. There is so much to tell you about First Church – the depth, quality and leadership of our music ministry is unmatched in the area, a Youth Fellowship that brings in youth from all faiths and from various areas of the community, a unique Community Connectors ministry that truly makes our congregation one that Cares for and About God’s Community.
I was commissioned into the ministry in 1999 and ordained an elder in the United Methodist Church in 2002. I was appointed to serve here at Saginaw First UMC in July of 2016. I am so excited to be part of the ministry going on here, and I encourage you to check us out. Now is a great time to get involved. If you would like to know more about our church, would like to be put on our mailing list or would just like to meet with me some time, please call or e-mail. I look forward to meeting you and perhaps serving Christ together.
Your friend in Christ,
Pastor Amy Terhune
