About First United Methodist Church
First United Methodist Church in Corvallis has served the community since 1848, standing at the edge of the Oregon State University campus. The church emphasizes faith expressed through service, learning, and relationships, with a theology grounded in questions and the search for understanding rather than certainty. Their worship blends more formal and less formal elements around a theme, and the community is deeply committed to social justice, environmental stewardship, and working alongside other organizations to address root causes of suffering. Children are warmly welcomed, with childcare available and a time for children incorporated into each service. The congregation describes itself as "a work in progress, learning to love more fully," and explicitly welcomes all people regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey.
