The caring ministries of First United Methodist Church seek to share the love of Christ with its members and friends. Our church's mission is to make and nurture Christian disciples through the presence and power of God, and this includes congregational care. Through visits, prayers, handwritten notes, and giving meaningful gifts (such as prayer shawls and fresh cut flowers), we seek to ensure that all people feel the congregation's care.
