LOVE. grow. serve

The first part of our church’s mission is loving God and loving our neighbor.
love. GROW. serve.

The second part of our church’s mission is helping people grow in spiritual depth.
love. grow. SERVE

The third way we live out our mission at First Church is through service.

All are welcome here at Seattle's First Church! We're a progressive community who cares deeply about living out God's vision of justice. We invite you to worship with us on Sunday mornings [9:30am and 11am], try a small group or help us care for the homeless and those in transition in our neighborhood by serving breakfast every second and fourth Sunday. Worship or work with us: we see both activities as a foundation for a deep and meaningful life.

Established in 1853, First United Methodist Church is Seattle's oldest congregation. Our congregation's mission is simple: Love, Grow, Serve.

Welcome

We’re glad you’re here Our work as a congregation revolves around three activities: Love, Grow, Serve. We equip and empower members to Love God, Grow in Faith and Serve the World.
