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.
