First United Methodist Church

Welcome!

We are delighted that you have taken time to visit First Church via our website. We are a diverse group of people with widely varying backgrounds and interests. But we share this vision:

"We will make disciples of Jesus Christ by reaching up to God, reaching in to the church, and reaching out to the community and world.

Please explore the 'Get to Know Us' pages to learn more about who we are and what we are doing in downtown Newark, Ohio. There is a place for you at First Church!

How will you 'Be the Church' this year?

This year, due to cost concerns, the 'Be the Church' commitment materials will *not* include the booklet of ministry involvement opportunities; instead, folks are invited to peruse the booklet online!
The 'Be the Church' booklet lists many opportunities for you to commit to the vows we share during membership: to uphold and support our church through our prayers, presence, gifts and service. The numerous opportunities for service are varied in time commitments as well as in the many different ways you are invited to serve in ministry.
Please view the booklets offerings online to find places of interest, and fill in those choices on your 'Be the Church' commitment card. And make plans to attend the consecration service on November 7th!
