FAQ
Find answers to common questions about visiting and worship.
Have a different question? We’d be glad to help.
What do I wear?
What you are comfortable in! During worship you’ll see people in t-shirts and others dressed more formally sitting side by side. We don’t have a dress code, we focus our worship experience on connecting with God and others.
Where do I park?
There is guest parking on the west side of the church right across from the west entry doors. There is also street parking on all four sides of the church and at BMO bank.
What about children?
Where is the nursery?
The nursery is on the second floor, one flight up from the sanctuary level. If you are unsure, ask one of our greeters, they’d be happy to show you the way!
What about students?
Students grades 6-12 meet on Wednesday nights during the school year for youth group. You can learn more about our student ministry in the Students section on our Connect page
Where should I sit?
Anywhere you want! While we have folks that tend to sit in the same spot each Sunday, others like to move around. Sit where you feel comfortable, and remember, we do have a balcony!
What do I do after worship?
After worship you can connect with the pastor in the lobby or join others for a time of coffee fellowship downstairs in our fellowship hall (we sometimes call this Holy Rock)
What is Holy Rock?
Holy Rock is what we sometimes call our fellowship hall. It is in the basement and is a common meeting space for everything from coffee fellowship after worship to community events.
Will I be welcome?
Absolutely. First UMC is an inclusive church that welcomes all people into the full life of the church regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, income, or life station. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your faith journey, you have a place here.
What to expect from worship?
Our service lasts about an hour and is traditional in style, but casual in tone — we want the traditions of the church to feel alive and fresh, not stuffy. Our full choir leads us in spirited hymns and special music each week. You’ll find a service rooted in meaningful liturgy, but a room full of people who are relaxed and glad you’re there.
Can I take communion?
Yes! As a United Methodist Church, we practice open communion — meaning all who seek to grow in their relationship with God are welcome at the table, regardless of church membership. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion together as a whole church, including children. Communion is always an invitation, and if you don’t wish to participate, that’s okay.
How can I get involved in serving the community?
There are lots of ways to get involved! You can serve at the Wesley House Food Pantry, get involved in children’s or youth ministries, join our hospitality team, or partner with one of our several community partnerships. Whatever your gifts or interests, there’s a place for you to serve.
What if I need to get up during the worship service?
That’s completely fine. Whether it’s tending to a child, a restroom break, or just needing a moment, feel free to step out and back in as needed — no one will think twice about it.
