First United Methodist Church

About this church

First United Methodist Church in Portsmouth gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. at 129 Miller Avenue. Services can also be followed online through the church's Facebook page. The site describes a regional congregation, with members from the New Hampshire seacoast and southern Maine, and it is part of the United Methodist denomination.

The church lists several outreach efforts on its website, including Kids First, a year-round program that responds to the needs of local children placed with extended family. Other listed ministries include Seacoast Family Promise, an effort to end 68 hours of hunger, a Christmas fundraiser called Share the Joy, and Planet Rangers. In the fall, a pumpkin patch operates at the church property as a community fundraiser and volunteer opportunity. Members stay informed through Sunday bulletins and a monthly newsletter called The Beacon. The building includes a sanctuary and Sanborn Hall, and both can be rented for concerts, community events, and family celebrations. Visitors can reach the office at 603-436-6038 to ask questions before a first visit, and it is worth confirming service details on the website.
