First United Methodist is a Reconciling Congregation. We proclaim that all
people are created in the image of God and affirm that each person, regardless
of age, economic status, faith history, ethnicity, gender, mental or physical
disability, marital status, sexual orientation or lifestyle, is a beloved child
of God and worthy of God's love and grace. We support the full participation of
all persons in every phase of church life. Through education, advocacy, and our
community life, we strive to celebrate the gifts of all people.
