"It seems like we’ve just begun our new year’s message series on “We’re Better Together – 40 Days of Community.”  It’s been an important six weeks, but our Commitment Weekend is behind us and we’re already looking toward our Lenten and Easter Season. It’s been a good way to begin a new year, as well, at a new decade."

Welcome to the website of the First United Methodist Church of Waco. I hope you find the information provided helpful and easy to navigate. 

In these days of trying to maximize life, many of us sense the need for a fresh start. We add activities, join new clubs, go to new places, meet new people and yet there is still an inner hunger that goes unfilled. I am firmly convinced that Jesus Christ is the one who fills that inner hunger and maximizes life and First Methodist Church is Christ centered. We’re a diverse and multi-generational church that focuses on ministering to the whole person.

Recently, FUMC received the distinction of being one of the top 100 churches in attendance out of 36,000 United Methodist Churches in the US.

Please consider your commitments and specific volunteer ministries with much prayer. God wants to partner with us in His work, and involving Him in the decision-making process ensures that His will is done, rather than simply our own.

You can make a difference. The First Methodist Church of Waco offers numerous volunteer opportunities, such as the church choir, Sunday School... If you have a special interest, we may have a place for you. Below are links to additional information Volunteer and Giving opportunities.
