Mission and Ministry

First Church is Involved in the Community in MANY ways.

We are a welcoming and safe place for the LGBTQIA+ community and encourage any and ALL interested worshipers to join with us.  First UMC is now the proud home for the PFLAG of the Great Lakes Bay Region office and resource library.

We provide weekend food for children at Westdale and Arrowwood Elementary Schools.  We also offer free meals to all once a month on the second Tuesday from 5:30-6:30pm.
