Words of Welcome from Jim

First I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our web page at First United Methodist Church of Mesa. I hope that you have had no trouble navigating around our site and have found the information to be helpful.

I would like to personally invite you to come and visit us for Sunday morning worship and experience the hospitality and love that make First Church a wonderful place to worship and serve. Our Sunday morning services offer a variety of music and worship experiences in a traditional format. It is part of our vision to be a center for worship and the arts and we believe that you will experience that passion during worship.

First Church is more than just worship. We are striving to offer spiritual growth opportunities for all! We offer a wide range of classes, Bible studies, youth and children’s programs, and serve as a host site for both the Walk to Emmaus and Kairos weekend spiritual growth experiences.

We also desire to involve all persons in the ministry of the church and offer chances to serve for persons of all ages. We are a downtown church and do much to support and be in ministry with the homeless and disenfranchised of our community. We also provide meeting space for Alcoholics’ Anonymous and the local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans group.

We are striving to be a church that provides unconditional love and acceptance while helping person build relationships both inside and outside the church. If you are looking for a church home where you can worship God, grow in grace and be accepted and loved, we believe First Church is the place for you!

I look forward to speaking with you about how we can help you on your spiritual journey!

Peace,

Rev. Dr. Jim Farrer
Senior Pastor
First Church – the heart of Mesa
