First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church of Gainesville worships at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays, both on campus and online, with groups for study and fellowship beginning at 9:15. The service is traditional with a creative range: ancient and modern creeds appear alongside music spanning classic hymns, blues, jazz, Mozart, Handel, and other styles. A media archive allows visitors to watch recent services and experience that mix before attending.

The congregation describes itself as Christ-centered, welcoming, and affirming across race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic circumstances, family structure, and ability. Its mission connects church and community through social justice and service locally and around the world. That combination will be meaningful to visitors looking for Methodist worship with a strong inclusive and civic orientation. Families and adults can pair the 9:15 formation hour with worship, while online participants can join the stream shortly before the 10:30 start.
