WELCOME TO THIS WEBSITE!

I HOPE YOU WILL FIND IT ENTICING!

It is our wish that you might encounter your own faith, the inspiration to find community; an appreciation of the liturical arts; and a desire to worship, the opportunity to serve others, and to learn about life’s meaning and purpose. 

Though websites and other technological media are convenient, nothing replaces face to face encounter that has been the church’s purpose for 2000 years or so.

If you are visiting us to find a way to connect with worship, programs and events, please travel downtown to be a part of this communties life.

If you are curious about God, Christ and the church that offers life in that name, I encourage you to connect with this community and worship with us.  In worship we experience the truth about ourselves, but more importantly the truth about a Living God who is love.

FIRST UNITED METHODIST is a downtown community, as diverse as the community of Erie, PA.

Here you will find other human beings seeking the God of all, a God who welcomes each of us into new life!

Hope we can meet face to face!

UNTIL THEN, MAY THE BLESSING OF GOD BE UPON YOU.

Pastor Aaron Ker
