First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Palo Alto, at 625 Hamilton Avenue, holds a traditional worship service on Sundays at 10:45 a.m. in the sanctuary, and the service is also streamed on YouTube. Music is central, with a chancel choir, an organ, and a chamber group that plays regularly once a month. Each service includes a sermon, words of prayer, and a children's sermon. Refreshments and fellowship follow on the patio after worship. The congregation has served the Palo Alto community since 1894 and is part of the United Methodist Church.

Young children may go to Noah's Ark Nursery during the latter half of the service, and activity packets are available for children 6 and older. A contemporary service meets on Zoom on Wednesdays at 7 p.m., with Bible study, round table discussion, and music on contemporary instruments; email the church office for the link. The site also lists in-person and Zoom study groups, fellowship groups, and Tongan and Fijian language services. Call the church office at 650-323-6167 to confirm current times.
