About Us
Welcome to First United Methodist Church (Austin First UMC), an inclusive faith community welcoming people of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to connect and grow in God's love. Proudly serving as Austin’s second oldest faith community since 1856, we operate with open hearts, open minds, and open doors. Our intergenerational congregation is focused on authentic relationships, spiritual depth, theological curiosity, and active community engagement. Whether you are a lifelong believer or just beginning your spiritual journey, you are invited to join us exactly as you are. We offer a blended traditional Sunday morning worship experience featuring classic hymns, modern selections, and occasional bell choir performances, followed by coffee and fellowship. We also host a vibrant youth and intergenerational ministry, as well as a Karen language community worship service on Sunday afternoons. Rooted in the Wesleyan tradition, we put our faith and love into action through local outreach, compassion, and justice. Join us this Sunday to experience a warm, supportive environment where you are celebrated as a beloved child of God.
