About Our Church

Learn about the First United Methodist Church of Midland

The First United Methodist Church of Midland offers many opportunities for children, youth, families, and retirees to get involved with their community. Our mission is to help people know, love, and share Jesus Christ. We’re a congregation that places a high priority in following Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor”. Because we believe strongly in God’s love for all people, we desire to help and provide hope to people around the world.

Our love is made real by supporting our local community, our state, our nation, and our world. We offer support to many agencies, programs, and missionaries to make the greatest impact possible.
