About Us
Connecting to God through Christ
This connection brings a transformation from being full of doubt and uncertainty to having the knowledge of a rightful place in God's great kingdom. Change comes slowly at times. By participation with a group of believers, one receives help to increase growth and brings us into a closer relationship with The Lord for our daily life.
Take the first step toward personal renewal – WORSHIP WITH US!
JOIN US FOR A SERVICE THIS WEEKEND!!!
Services are held at 9:00 am and 11:00 am every Sunday.
Bible Study Classes Sundays at 10:00 am and Wednesdays at 6:15 pm
OUR BELIEF IS...
...that God’s desire is for life in abundance.
...that Christ Jesus is the door that leads to life in abundance.
...that salvation is found in Jesus Christ.
...that each of us is called to belong to the larger community of faith called the church.
...that we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.
...that forgiveness ought to be 'the way of life'.
...that responsibility for our way of life comes from within.
...that as the extended family, the church is to care for and build believers.
OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, OPEN DOORS.
THE PEOPLE OF UNITED METHODIST CHURCH.
Oh how easy it is to get lost! We have the World at our finger tips so how can we find time for our God?
That’s where First UMC Belen comes in. We provide a holy place where you can put aside the cares of the week and find yourself in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Services
Sunday Services are held at 9 am and 11 am in the church sanctuary, and a service will be live streamed every Sunday on our YouTube and shared to our Facebook page. We will be doing our best to make sure the church continues to be a safe place for all who come here.
The YouTube channel will continue to be active for those who can't join us in person.
We hope to see you Sunday as your health permits, or online at any time.
Pastor: Rev. Dr. Joe MacDonald
