What To Expect
Serving Middltown, West Middletown, Franklin, Trenton, and Monroe, Ohio.
First United Methodist Church, located in downtown Middletown, is devoted to loving God and loving our neighbor. We worship at 10:30 am on Sunday mornings in an awe-inspiring sanctuary with beautiful music and engaging worship. We are blessed to have a pipe organ played each week as well as a choir who leads in music. We cannot talk about our love of God without talking about how that love is expressed every week in our love of our neighbors. We host a hot meal served twice a week that is open to all. We have a weekly food pantry that operates at capacity. In addition, we offer monthly utility assistance. More information about these ministries can be found under Outreach & Missions Ministry on the Ministries tab. We believe that our love of God must be shared in our love of neighbor. And that isn’t only our belief but our practice.
A Typical Service…
We serve light refreshments before service in The Commons area — a great place to meet people. In worship you will hear vibrant music, thoughtful prayers, the proclamation of God’s word, and an accessible and practical message. All of our worship services are translated in Spanish. An usher can direct you to the device we use. We have a nursery for infants and toddlers and Jr. Church for elementary-aged students. All of our ministry leaders have gone through a background check for your child’s safety. We also have a “Cry Room” with a broadcast of the service for when your young child needs to have some space.
If you have questions or need help, please ask an usher or anyone else wearing a name tag. They will be happy to assist you.
Upon your first visit, if you think you want to try out some programs or you just want to know more about what is going on, look for the bright colored piece of paper in your bulletin. You can fill that out with questions, a comment or a request to have someone contact you. You can give us all the information on the card that we ask for or just a little bit. Whatever you are comfortable sharing.
If you would rather experience worship without sharing information – that is completely understandable. Don’t fill out anything, don’t hand it in, you can completely fly under the radar and we will understand. We are glad you decided to worship with us and believe that God loves everyone whether they fill out a card or not! We trust that God is at work in our life and when you feel ready, the ways for you to connect will be waiting.
