WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION AND VALUES


First Church is simply a community of believers in the heart of Williamsport, PA.  At our core, we are Christ-centered, Biblically-based and continuously in prayer.

Transformation in Christ through Inviting, Teaching & Sending


We are an historic church focused on the future and driven by our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ.  We worship at four services each Sunday in three different locations using four distinct styles of worship.  We value cultural relevance and our congregation is diverse in age, ethnic background and education.  We grow in Christ and care for each other through group life.  We have a committed priority to children and teenagers and are a younger than average congregation.  We live out our mission by serving each other, the community and the world.

At First Church, we aspire to be:
  • people of courage and integrity
  • intentionally diverse
  • connected in small groups
  • committed to children and youth
  • culturally relevant
  • radically hospitable
  • nurturing to all
  • accountable to God and each other

We are a United Methodist congregation.  If you would like to discover more about the traditions and values of the United Methodist Church, please visit the UMC website.
