At First United Methodist Church of Battle Creek, we strive to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and his ministry, and to honor the Methodist tradition of social justice.
We therefore welcome all of God’s children regardless of race, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status, marital status, political or theological perspective, ability, or other differences that can create barriers between people.
We celebrate diversity as it brings us to a closer relationship with God.
Sunday Service Times
We are worshipping at 9 and 11 a.m., with coffee available between services.
As of June 22, face masks are no longer required in the First UMC facility, including Sunday morning services. You are encouraged and supported as you continue to make your own decision for health and safety.
Both worship services will continue to be transmitted to the Parking Lot, if you would like to listen on your car radio at 93.3FM. You will have the best reception in the Atrium lot.
Some portions of worship will continue to be posted on YouTube, Facebook, and the website early in the week.
May we be blessed as we continue to worship and serve together!
