Welcome to the First United Methodist Church web site!

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a congregation of about 450 members in the heart of Pennsylvania’s “Slate Belt.” We have been touched by the love of Jesus and are seeing his transforming work in our lives. We seek our directions from the Word of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God has called us to open our hearts and our doors to those in need and sent us out into our community and the world beyond to embody his love.

As the pastor of this congregation I extend an invitation to you to come and join us in the worship of God and in the service of others. I believe that through participation in the activities of this congregation you will have the opportunity to make strong friendships, grow in your relationship with God, and develop as a person. Every age is welcome.

If you do not now have a church home and are in need of pastoral care you may contact me at firstumcbangor@epix.net, or call at 610-588-HOPE (4673).

God bless you.

Gary Nicholson

Pastor, First United Methodist Church of Bangor, Pennsylvania
