About this church
Ashland First United Methodist Church gathers Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in its stained-glass sanctuary near downtown Ashland's plaza. Worship includes prayer, Scripture, music, a sermon from Pastor Brett, and occasional drama and creative liturgy. Greeters provide directions and practical help, children receive a special message before leaving for Sunday School, and coffee and conversation follow in the fellowship hall. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday monthly at an open table where visitors do not need to be Methodist. An adult book discussion begins Sunday at 9 a.m. in the library.
The congregation describes itself as vibrant, authentic, playful, caring, and welcoming to all, with room to question tradition graciously. Community work includes weekly Access food distribution, Habitat for Humanity, housing-resource organization OHRA, support for Southern Oregon University's Wesley Foundation, and sponsorship of a Ukrainian refugee family. Children and families also connect through Creative Connections, a state-recorded after-school enrichment program blending art, recreation, science, engineering, mindfulness, character, and cooperative learning. Choir, bell choir, Bible study, women’s and men’s groups, prayer shawls, and shared meals provide additional entry points. The official FAQs do not state worship length, clothing norms, parking, accessibility, nursery ages, child check-in, hearing support, or livestream availability.
