Celebrating Christ and Community

Our worship at First United Methodist Church (UMC) Burlington attempts to find the balance between the power of ancient liturgies and the realities of life in the 21st century. The Bible is the canvas upon which we paint the stories of our lives. Jesus taught some of the most complex spiritual lessons with the simplest of stories. We are believers in place – loving the God who is everywhere, serving the Christ in our neighbors here. One of Jesus’ promises was that he would be present – “I’m with you, even to the end of the age.” Grace and creative energy flow in and through our community. We see the beauty and creativity of Jesus’ promise bubbling up and bursting forth around the corner of every Burlington street. As this is where we are, we seek to be a ministry that both draws from and gives life to the community in which we find ourselves. We invite you to join us for worship Sunday mornings at 9:45.
