About First Church
First Church is a progressive, spiritual community advocating for the homeless and hungry, and creating a refuge for inclusive Christianity.
We’re called “First Church” because we are Seattle’s first congregation, established in 1853. We cherish our place in Seattle’s past, present, and future.
First Church is a proud member of the Reconciling Ministries Network, a community “mobilizing United Methodists of all sexual orientations and gender identities to transform our Church and world into the full expression of Christ’s inclusive love.” We have also committed to a four-year effort toward intercultural competency and anti-racism.
First Church values diverse perspectives and life experiences. We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply, including people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, and veterans. First Church does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability.
