Our Mission

Our mission is to build a loving community that proclaims, knows and serves the Risen Christ.

In 1850, First United Methodist Church began ministering to families in West Monroe and Ouachita Parish in the name of Jesus. Although the location, the activities and the families have changed over the years, we continue to minster to our friends and neighbors of West Monroe and Ouachita Parish in Jesus’ name.

 

Our Ministry

Answering God’s call to enter into worship as His people continues to be our primary means of ministry. Proclaiming the Gospel of Christ and celebrating the might acts of our Good God remain the keys to the ministry. For over 160 years, we continue to be a community who proclaims…

Knowing the Risen Christ begins through worship and continues with our study and exploration of God’s story of redemption for all of humanity as found in the Bible. We make God’s Word an important part of our life in the church from our early preschool days to our golden years. We are a community who knows…

Once we worship and explore God’s story, we experience the joy of living for others just as Christ did through service. Whether we volunteer in schools, serve at the food bank or build houses, we are a community who serves…

Most importantly, we are a community. No church can change lives for the Gospel of Christ without loving people who come together for a mission greater than themselves.

We are a community of believers who proclaims, knows and serves the Risen Christ. Come worship with us!
