First United Methodist Church Shreveport

The mission of the First United Methodist Church is to embrace and extend God’s grace while passionately growing servant leaders. Our Values In the business world there is a lot of talk about core values. But what do we mean by that? While core values for churches may be similar, each church's core values should relate to its personality, experience, genetics and style. Core values aren't what we hope to be but who we are. • Experiencing God - Our emphasis on experiencing God is sensed in our vibrant worship, Bible studies, small groups and an intense prayer ministry. • Embracing Generations - FUMC has always been a church for all the generations with each generation embracing the next while appreciating the generations that have gone before. • Pursuing Excellence - No matter what goes on at FUMC, we strive to do it with excellence, whether building on tradition or innovatively pursuing new ministries. • Transforming Community - FUMC is a community of believers who seek both to be transformed by God and to transform the community around us as we live out what we believe.
