About New Philadelphia First United Methodist Church
At New Philadelphia First United Methodist Church, we seek to live out Christ’s love by opening hearts to the love of Jesus, opening minds to grow in faith, and opening doors to serve others. Grounded in the United Methodist tradition of grace, connection, and service, we strive to be a welcoming community where all people are invited, valued, and encouraged in their faith journey.
Our mission is to make a meaningful impact by uplifting lives, building disciples, and honoring God, helping to create a better world through compassion, justice, and faithful service. We value inclusiveness, authentic relationships, and relevant worship that celebrates and inspires. Here, all are connected, all are growing, and all are enriched as we learn, serve, and walk together in Christ.
The United Methodist Church is a worldwide connection of more than 12 million members in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States. We are the person next door, the church on the other side of the country, and the worshiping community across the globe. Together, we share a legacy of living as disciples of Jesus Christ, sharing God's love both in what we say and how we serve our neighbors.
The United Methodist Church is a member of the World Methodist Council — which ties together Methodist denominations worldwide.
