About First United Methodist Church
First United Methodist Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1849 by visionary believers in the heart of downtown and has endured through conflict and hardship while maintaining its Gospel mission for over 150 years. The church is part of the Ascent network, a movement focused on re-engaging North America with the Gospel and reaching de-churched, un-churched, and never-churched communities. First Church describes itself as a gathered and sent congregation, emphasizing biblical discipleship, community engagement, and transformation through Jesus Christ. The church offers online worship on Sunday mornings at 9:00 AM EST and maintains a robust ministry structure including children's programming, youth ministry, and a nursery school. Led by Rev. Matt Lake and a team of associate and specialized pastors, the congregation cultivates what it calls a "rugged" faith characterized by grit, resilience, and a commitment to both traditional values and new expressions of ministry.
