First United Methodist Church of Lafayette

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Lafayette gathers for in-person worship Sundays at 9:00 a.m., with sermons also available through Facebook and YouTube. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month at an open table: participation is not limited by denominational affiliation or profession of faith. The congregation explicitly welcomes people of every sexual orientation and gender identity as a Reconciling Congregation and encourages newcomers to contact the church about groups, classes, and mission projects.

The church understands Methodist discipleship as joining personal devotion with mercy, justice, and daily life. Its mission is to share God's love through worship, education, and outreach, then leave the building to serve the surrounding community. Ministry partnerships include support for Sister Carmen Community Center and involvement in the Boulder County CROP Hunger Walk, which raises money for local and global hunger relief. Programs serve children through middle school, adults, and community members who use the building during the week. A first visit can be as simple as the 9:00 service, while online sermons provide a preview and first-Sunday Communion offers a particularly clear expression of the church's open welcome.
