Are we right for you?
We know that you have a choice of places to worship. Why choose First Middletown? A few important reasons:

Deep roots. New growth. 

We welcome people who are ready to join an active, open, warm, and growing Christian community that has deep roots in Middletown and that is focused on the future of Middletown and the world. Your faith, your passions, your families are all welcome to join us as we shape our mission.

Living faith. New life.

We are thinking, feeling, and acting people of faith, very much part of this world, but set aside by God for a greater purpose. Worship, prayer, bible studies, fellowship, and local and global missions are all essential for us to grow in faith, as we serve God and the world in the Holy Spirit.

Faith changing you and the world.

We believe that faith is meant to change lives here and now. God gives us saving love in Christ that we may become healed and growing people helping the world to heal and to grow. Our passion for growing faith from within prepares us to be empowered servants of God.

Beliefs right for today's world.

We are dedicated to the principles of Methodism, a perspective on faith that emphasizes God’s offering salvation to everyone – not just a few – through faith in Jesus Christ, a dynamic relationship with God that is rooted in the Bible, affirmed by our traditions, enlivened by our experiences, and tested by human reason.

Local and global

We are not just a local church – we are part of the United Methodist Church, one of the world’s fastest growing Christian denominations. We think and act both locally and globally. Our communion with United Methodists from all cultures and walks of life around the world enlivens and enriches our faith experience.

Give us a try!
We know that we may not be the right fit for everyone. But we know that God has called us to be a presence for God’s love in our community that is meant to transform lives. We hope that you give us a try – and that God blesses you with the fruits of faith, no matter what path you take. Welcome!
