About First United Methodist Church of Lexington
First United Methodist Church of Lexington has served the community since 1789, evolving from a small cabin gathering into one of the first hundred Methodist churches in America. Today, the church operates three distinct worshiping communities—Downtown, Andover, and Offerings—each expressing ministry in ways suited to its local context while sharing administration and Wesleyan theological foundations. Rooted in historic Christian beliefs and the Methodist tradition, First UMC emphasizes God's grace, personal and social holiness, and an inclusive welcome to all. The congregation is guided by Scripture and committed to making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world through spiritual formation, leadership development, and compassionate service. With both community-specific and whole-church staff supporting ministry across all three locations, First UMC invites visitors to explore worship, discipleship opportunities, and fellowship within their neighborhoods.
