Welcome to McPherson First United Methodist Church
Whoever you are, there is room for you here.

We are a community of faith in McPherson, Kansas, learning to follow Jesus together. Our mission is the mission of United Methodists everywhere: to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are becoming disciples who:

  • Love boldly, reaching toward God and toward our neighbors without holding back.
  • Serve joyfully, giving ourselves to others out of gladness, not obligation.
  • Lead courageously, stepping up to do the faithful thing, even when it is hard.

We grow toward that vision through five promises that have shaped Methodists for generations: prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Whoever you are and wherever you have come from, there is room for you here, and a place to begin.

How We Are Organized
One board, one mission, shared leadership

Everything we do answers to Jesus Christ and the Great Commission. A single Leadership Board holds the church accountable to that mission, setting strategy and stewarding our resources, while the Nominations Committee prepares the people who serve. Our pastor leads the staff and ministry teams day to day, so the work of the church stays close to the people who carry it out.
