We're Hiring a Children and Youth Minister

Do you have a heart for guiding children and teens in their faith journey?

First Grace is seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Children and Youth Minister to join our team.

ABOUT US

WELCOME TO FIRST GRACE UMC

First Grace is an urban community of faith embracing all of God’s children as persons of sacred worth, regardless of station in life, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

We invite and welcome all persons to join us as disciples who believe in the transforming love of God revealed in Jesus Christ from which nothing can separate us.

We make two promises at First Grace. This is a space and place where you can discover that you are loved, and where you can learn the ways of love. We are engaged in a deep joy on Sunday mornings and in growth and justice Ministries all week long.

A FIRST GRACE TRADITION

JULY JUBILEE

In July at First Grace, we rest. We do have Sunday morning worship. 

But, we have no church council, trustee or other church meetings; and most ministries rest as well. The church office is open on reduced hours, and the pastor will be away a good portion of July. We find this spiritual practice to be like a good night’s, deep sleep—needed and refreshing.

Check back here for updates on lighthouse opening hours and additional information during emergencies. This community service is free and available to all, regardless of affiliation with First Grace Church.

July 6th Jabari Brown;

Children’s Moments:

July 6th Will Williams;
