If you're reading this, then you clicked on fumcmetropolis.org and must want to know something about First United Methodist Church in Metropolis, Illinois.
 
But before you click any further, I want to welcome you to this website on behalf of the church and introduce ourselves to you.  Here is a bit about who we are:
 
We are regular folks who love Jesus and seek to share the light of his love with as many folks as possible.  We believe the Bible and lean on the Holy Spirit as we strive to obey.  We often remind ourselves of our mission: To make disciples for Jesus Christ who will transform the world.  We love our church, but we also seek to be partners with all other communities of Christ.  Our feelings about "other denominations" is simple: We're in this together.
 
As you click around the website, perhaps looking for something, remember the words of Jesus, "Seek, and ye shall find." (Matthew 7:7).  Perhaps you might like to learn more about the ALPHA Course, our youth programs, the DISCIPLE Bible Study, or our outreach programs.  All that and more, you will find, if you seek.   
 
Now it's time to take your mice (or is it mouses?) and...
 
Click away!

Pastor at FUMCMetropolis
