First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church of New Castle worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m. at 1324 Church Street. The parking-lot entrance leads directly into the main gathering space, avoiding confusing hallways, and greeters help visitors get oriented. Worship combines modern and traditional music with a message connecting Christian faith to daily life. Fellowship follows the service, giving newcomers a natural time to meet people.

Children are welcome to remain in worship, while EXPLORE Kids offers a separate Sunday-morning environment for families who choose it. The congregation describes itself as a thoughtful community where people at different places in life and faith can ask questions, build relationships, serve, and learn what following Jesus means in ordinary situations. Ministry extends beyond the building through outreach, local events, practical support, and care for the church and its neighbors. The first-visit instructions are unusually direct: park, enter the door facing the lot, meet a greeter in the same main space, choose family worship or children’s programming, and remain after the 9:30 service for conversation.
